New Psychotherapy Helps Depression Patients Cultivate Optimistic Outlook
2011-10-20 11:48:00 New Psychotherapy Helps Depression Patients Cultivate Optimistic Outlook Instead of Traditional Therapy Focus on Negative Thoughts About Past Patients with major depression do better by learning to create a more positive outlook about the future, rather than by focusing on negative thoughts about their past experiences, researchers at Cedars-Sinai say after developing a new treatment that helps patients do this. While Major Depressive Disorder patients traditionally undergo cognitive-behavior therapy care that seeks to alter their irrational, negative thoughts about past experiences, patients who were treated with the newly-developed Future-Directed Therapy? demonstrated significant improvement in depression and anxiety, as well as improvement in overall reported quality of life, the researchers found. Results were published recently in the peer-reviewed journal CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics.
Article Series Asks Sathya Sai Alumni To Admit Large-Scale Male Sexual Abus
2011-08-13 02:00:00 The following excerpts are from my recent article series, the main burthen of which to say that alumni of Sathya Sai education institutions now have a unique opportunity. I was a lecturer, (1978-1979, at the Sathya Sai College, outside Bangalore, South India. By showing fearlessness, truthfulness and compassion for those who suffer - virtues endlessly preached in Sai institutions - they can tear aside the veil of taboo against addressing sexual abuse. It is a suppression extremely prevalent in India. But, then, extreme conditions are those in which courage in straight speaking and clear moral action are called for. Since, like many teachers everywhere, my fond hopes for my former students to turn out well, have never died, I would dearly wish to see them vividly live those vivid speeches that Sai Baba's handpicked students would give. Perhaps forever doomed to disappointment will be those many listeners who have fondly thought that the rousing speeches of these students predicte...
Ex- Sathya Sai Baba Students Could Aid Sex Abuse Change In India. But Will
2011-08-05 06:45:00 A few years ago, I addressed an 'open letter' to my former Whitefield College Students. On re-reading, I see that its terms can fairly be addressed (give or take the occasion specific reference) to all alumni, past and present. There have been so many revelations of great and pervasive corruption both in Sathya Sai Baba himself and in many of his officials (especially his core servitors) that it may not go amiss to post this communication here. Thousands of Sathya Sai education alumni face a dilemma not only in their immediate communities but wherever they may settle or travel. It is hard to imagine a major education institution in which a founder and certain teachers and Trust officials have been so deeply embroiled in scandal. But when, with searching analyis and deeply thought-through remedial action, what can be so terrible can, with great good will, be transformed into something that is so wonderful. And these alumni, potentially, are faced with a great challenge. Examples ...
Will Court Decision Topple A Top Sathya Sai Teacher? Male Sexual Abuse Case
2011-07-22 11:36:00 STOP PRESS! Breaking NEWS ...... This morning, Friday, I received important news, the details of which are being wrapped up in an Indian High Court today. Until I access the notes, I shall wait and examine the details, and check on what those on the spot have to report. Witnesses to the court proceedings made such comments as: "Our side had only three 'suits' (ed. i.e., lawyers or solicitors). The Sathya Sai lot had no fewer than thirteen!! Our three advocates ran rings around them. The judge removed the gag". One of the family members I spoke to, who along with other family, have long suffered the effects of Sai betrayal, was so overjoyed at the routing of a formidable accomplice of Sathya Sai Baba that he told me: "I was so happy that I leapt into my swimming pool forgetting that I had my Sat(ellite)Phone in my pocket. I have to get a new one" .... Prison Sentence - More Sentences To Come? I can attest that there is growing determination among those who have t...

She wrote to me that: "I am happy to discuss and debate issues. I have responded to every issue you raised". However, readers who appreciate norms of language, logic and sticking to points raised will see clearly that Ms Drucker veers (not at all, I think, meaning to be dishonest) away from issues put to her. She also reveals a strong tendency to assume that her view of strange events in the presence of Sathya Sai Baba must be the correct. In fact, the state of scientific knowledge DOES allow us to make eminently reasonable alternative interpretations of what Ms Drucker takes to be inviolable truths (perhaps I should have capitalized the last word). She writes: .......

She wrote to me: "And when we know who we are, we will know a little better who Sai Baba is. So the task at hand is to know yourself, rather than spending your time trying to pin a crime on Sai Baba. However if you wish to pursue that course, Sai Baba does say Inimical Bhakti is the fastest path to truth, so I am sure it is serving the highest good". Note: I had pointed out to Ms Drucker that it is important for survivors of severe trauma to seek qualified professional counseling, and also (bearing in mind that she is a public figure) she has the responsibility correctly to model this kind of service to those who read her writings.

She has explained that her "rape experience happened in 1985, in a house next to the Stanton Sai Center, on the same property as the Sai center in S. California". I have suggested to her that those who have had such traumatic experiences need to reach out to an experienced, qualified profession, and that it is a dangerous undertaking to recommend a course of action which relies on faith or notions of enlightenment alone. She replied: "Is it necessary for a rape victim to receive professional counseling? This assumes that psychology/ psychotherapy has answers that ABSOLUTE TRUTH does not".

In an email to me, she says, "Baba demonstrates that He clearly manipulates the laws of physical reality, because He can". In another email, she says: "Sai Baba has demonstrated powers of omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence. I am convinced of His divinity and that everything He does is in the service of the uplift of all. He knows the past, present and future of each of us, and He knows how to transform the world into a world of peace, love and joy for all".

For many years, she and her husband Professor Al Drucker (formerly with NASA) have been hero-worshipped by many Sathya Sai devotees worldwide. Ms Drucker has made some facts very clear, although readers may decide whether I am correct in saying that she veers (I think not with deliberate dishonesty) away from key points that I have made.
Democratic Societies Need To Face Issues On Cults
2010-01-08 23:21:00 In my colleague's and my extensive experience in exposing the global Sathya Sai Baba cult and its leader, India's most famous guru, we have found a striking fact: governments, and indeed whole societies, fail to face the problem of cults. The 'answers' of totalitarian regimes is of course to be repudiated at the outset. Indeed, in their authoritarianism, these closely resemble a great many cults, in any case! In some sense, they can indeed be deemed cults. Charismatic, autocratic leadership, enforcement of group-think, and punitive styles exercised against those who question are some characteristics that loom large.

It has been important for us to take advice from outstanding abuse professionals, lawyers, and so on. The temerity, and in some cases the naivity, of some requests to us for even the most sensitive information might stagger those who had not become used to it.

Mindfulness Effective
2008-05-07 21:09:00 Mindfulness is a very simple concept, but a skill that escapes a lot of people. Simply put, when we are mindful we act as an observer of our minds, our thoughts and feelings, without judging, or holding onto anything. The object is to be completely present in the moment, mostly focused on our senses, our eyes, ears, nose, and skin. Having complete faith in ourselves, we simply accept whatever comes, assuming we have all we need to cope with anything as best we can. Worry and regret becomes a major distraction from being mindful in that it distracts from our attention to what is happening now. Jon Kabat-Zinn's stuff in the right sidebar provides great training material. Mindfulness has wide application in treatment of anxiety, depression, mood regulation as well as crisis stabilization. Now it has been found helpful in managing pain. HealthSkills Weblog Mindfulness meditation has a quieting effect on me. It gives me a peaceful feeling while doing it and I am able to reduce my...

Psychotherapy, Intimacy, and the Sacred
2008-04-26 07:31:00 A GoodTherapy.org Featured Column written by John Rhead, Ph.D. Click here to contact John and/or see her GoodTherapy.org Profile Intimacy refers to being seen or known. One can be seen or known by oneself, by another being (human or otherwise) or by God. Individual psychotherapy usually focuses on knowing oneself better, which is to say becoming more intimate with oneâs self. The usual term for this process is âinsight.â Group psychotherapy addresses being better known by others, which of course results in greater knowing of oneself in the process. This is the place where the term âintimacyâ is most commonly used. Relationships with non-humans in which one comes to be known can be as mundane as a relationship with a pet dog or cat and as elaborate as encounters with spirit guides in all kinds of animal forms while engaging in shamanic journeying. Finally one may experience being known by God, or the Sacred Mystery, through spiritual practices such as prayer and medit...
