What Do We Mean By 'Normal'?
Published on November 15, 2011 by Eric R. Maisel, Ph.D. in Rethinking Psychology

It is past time that we rethink what we mean by the words "normal" and "abnormal" as those words apply to the mental and emotional states and behaviors of human beings. Indeed, it is a real question as to whether those words can be sensibly used at all, given their tremendous baggage and built-in biases and the general confusion they create.

Embracing Dyxlexia (video documentarty)
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. Individuals with dyslexia have trouble with reading, writing, and spelling despite having at least an average intelligence. It is estimated that 15 to 20 percent of the population is dyslexic but most are never identified or diagnosed and left to struggle their entire life. The neurological condition is not a weakness. It is a challenge and a gift.
