Do anti-depressant medications work?
We have been having a fascinating discussion that I reckon is best framed as “Do anti-depressant medications work?” It would be witless to try to have a credible discussion here about the science. But we don’t need to delve too deeply into the science when the semantics of the question is so much more compelling and […]

What is the purpose of life?
We have been having a great time with our friends over at the REBT-CBT Forum discussing the timeless question, What is the Purpose of Life? Actually, REBT has quite a bit to say about this, but I fear that what it has to say is not very satisfying to those who raise the question! Click the […]
