A friend pointed me to an article (found via a post at Think Christian) titled, “The Web Is The Worst Place to Grieve.” The article, published in a conservative-libertarian magazine, describes several examples of real and feigned suicides that have been blogged on the web. Blogging had made possible public suicide notes. The article is [...]

I was invited to an informal, coffee-cart conversation about blogging in a medical center. A person in our organization wants to develop a group blog around the interest area of Community Health. A few reflections on this conversation, which took place on Friday. We spent a fair amount of time on definitional ambiguities around the [...]

BlogScholar has an interesting post about Web 2.0 opportunities and academia. Since I’ve posted before about blogging out in the open in a clinical setting and academic health center, I thought this would be a good follow-up link: BlogScholar.com – Flatland Metaphor

In a comment on my previous post about visual presentation for clinical training in risk assessment, Avi of GUI Yourself requested an example. Here is a .pdf of a map I use. The details are collapsed, but you can get the idea. I also teach using a map of the options available to clinicians in [...]

The materials I am working on to train clinicians in risk assessment involve visual maps which I present using Mindmanager. I have blogged about this learning tool before (here and here). Well…I haven’t read the source research that this article from the Sidney Morning Herald is based on, but it looks like it provides data [...]

Warning: This post starts out a bit far afield from clinical work. My ideas about how it ultimately connect back, but they’re still forming, so this is definitely a “put on your seatbelt” kind of post. For some time, I have been following the work and blog of Dave Snowden, founder of Cognitive Edge. Snowden [...]

Roy from Shrink Rap’s commented on my post about Web 2.0 opportunities that he has “not EVEN mentioned to anyone about our psychiatry podcast.” That surprised me, given how significant his web presence is. But that was certainly true of my blog until a couple of weeks ago, when I finally “decloaked” my blog to [...]

A thoughtful colleague of mine observed yesterday that, although there is a range of ways clinicians get clinical information about suicide (articles, workshops, books, practice manuals), a lot of clinical learning takes place informally–by doing the work and by talking with other clinicians. That is probably especially true for the busiest front-line clinicians. I later [...]

Whenever I present, I get questions about the technology I use. I work on a Fujitsu T Series Lifebook (T is for Tablet PC), and use MindManger by Mindjet for almost everything I think about or present. I’m happy to let people know what I use because I think they are tools that lend themselves [...]
