The All-Or-Nothing Marriage

Major historical shifts in the institution of marriage in America have produced two major consequences. First, the quality of average marriages has weakened over time. Second, the quality of the best marriages has strengthened over time. In tandem, these two consequences have pushed marriage toward an all-or-nothing state.

You’re invited to the 3^rd annual Psych Summer Pool Party!!! No, unfortunately we don’t have an actual full sized pool hidden in the depths of the PAS, but we will have water and non-water games, music, pizza, a “cold treat,” and lots of fun!

The party will be on July 11^th from 2:30-4 on the patio at the South entrance to the PAS (near the elevator).

Common and specific factors in CBT: Theory and research from studies in the treatment of anxiety

The common vs. specific factors debate has been around for almost 90 years. Most advocates of CBT have suggested that common factors are necessary, but not sufficient. Others have argued that the Dodo Bird is alive and well, and that all treatments that are credible or bona fide yield similar results.

This year’s speaker will be Dr. John G. Holmes from the University of Waterloo.
