What Are Personality Disorders and How Are They Treated?
(Justin Deschamps) As one who studies psychology, I’ll be the first to tell you that it’s hardly perfect. Especially on the clinical side, drug companies and other interests have diluted the true power of understanding the nature of our being. This being said, there is much within the accumulated knowledge of psychology we can gain wisdom in studying. With this in mind, consider the following.

Scientists: Golden Ratio Observed In Human Skulls — Does this Mean We’re Pre-Programmed to Understand Fractal Realities?
(Justin Deschamps) The golden ratio is a number or mathematic constant found almost everywhere in nature. It’s also used in the development of technology, and user interfaces, as human beings seem to be innately programmed to respond to the so-called golden number. Recently, a team of scientists discovered that the spatial morphology, or shape, of the human skull, is more reflective of the golden ratio than other animals. What might this mean?
Coffee Without the Jitters: Here’s All You Need to Know about Decaffeinated Coffee
(Grace Olson) Coffee is a much-loved drink, but not everyone likes the palpitations that come along with it.

New Baby Smell: How Newborn Babies’ Head Odor Facilitates Bonding
(Neuroscience News) A team led by Kobe University Professor Mamiko Ozaki (Department of Biology, Graduate School of Science) has become the first to identify the chemical makeup of the odors produced by newborn babies’ heads. The results shed more light on the olfactory importance of newborns’ heads in mother-baby and kin recognition. They also developed a non-invasive and stress-free method of sampling these odors directly from heads of the babies.
Fracking-Induced Earthquakes in Central and Eastern America Are on the Rise, Caution Researchers
(Isabelle Z.) It’s getting harder for fracking proponents to defend the practice as new studies show that it can be linked to a rise in earthquakes throughout the United States, particularly in areas where seismic events are not historically common – and this is true even when wastewater disposal, which often takes the blame for fracking-related seismicity, isn’t involved.
Study Identifies Psychology of Attraction to Religious Deities and Super-Heroes
