Bernice Landry takes us from the heyday of psychoanalysis, to the blame-the-mother era, the rise of the activist parent, and the decoding of the dark secrets of our genes."[cbc radio-Ideas] http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/episodes/2009/07/24/the-dark-end-of-the-spectrum-part-12/ http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/episodes/2009/07/31/the-dark-end-of-the-spectrum-part-22/ |

Research conducted around the world shows that girls everywhere are motivated to use their closest relationships as weapons, regardless of class, race or family background. Why do girls resort to covert tactics like shunning, exclusion, eye rolling and rumour mongering to win and keep their place in the social hierarchy? Through insightful commentary from leading North American experts and an insiders view into the workings of a clique of ten-year-old girls, the foundation of the hidden culture of aggression in girls and hopes to combat it through challenging societal attitudes are explored."[cbc radio-Ideas] http://www.cbc.ca/video/news/audioplayer.html?clipid=1724420015 A New Outlook on Personality http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/episode/2014/10/21/me-myself-and-us/ Narcissism http://www.cbc.ca/tapestry/episode/2014/09/26/a-field-guide-to-the-narcissist/ Anxiety http://www.cbc.ca/tapestry/2014/03/28/high-anxiety-1/ Medical Evidence "John Ioaniddis has spent a long time pushing evidence-based medicine.
