All In The Mind: Psychbloggers Carnival
Pottering around blogcarnival.com revealed no carnivals dedicated to psych. Which is unfortunate because there are a lot of psychbloggers out there. Many of whom get plenty of traffic. I’m bored and my summer job don’t start for a couple more weeks, so I figure why not start one. Plus, I have Dr. Sanity’s approval.
I couldn’t think of how to say that this carnival is intended to be a pretty open and encompassing affair so I stole and lightly massaged some verbiage from The Tangled Bank’s homepage…
This is an egalitarian activity. You do not have to be a Ph.D., you don’t have to write articles with ten-syllable words, you don’t have to discuss esoteric details. All you have to do is express some enthusiasm for [psychology and psychiatry] or encourage study of the same.
Got an interesting post about Cognitive Science? Want to discuss your personal experiences with mental illness? Do you want to talk about the failures of current psych theory (a favorite of mine)? Or about a problem with the status quo in the mental health profession (another favorite of mine…even moreso for Dr. Helen)? Maybe you want to talk about the psychology of individuals who believe in certain ideologies (that’s Dr. Sanity’s big thing. You could even discuss ‘discredited’ theories like those of Freud and Jung (which still have some merit in understanding the mind, even if they are of little therapeutic value). Heck, I’ve got a post or two about the Axis II psychological disorders my dogs seem to suffer from every now and then. Even silly tongue-in-cheek stuff like that is good too.
Point is, it’s all good. If it has to do with psych, it’s well-written, and it’s an actual commentary from your point of view rather than simply a link and a quote with a quick “I like this”, then send it in. Should Fun times will be had by all.
I’ll be hosting the first one on Thursday, June 1st, so get your links in to me by about 6pm the Wednesday before. Feel free to send multiple submissions, since I have no idea how popular this will be these first few carnivals. That may change if we get to be anything like the size of Tangled Bank, Skeptics’ Circle, or Grand Rounds. We’ll start out bi-weekly and if it looks like it’ll work we might move up to once a week. Once it’s off the ground I’ll open up hosting opportunities to those who are stupid enough to take on the work.
You can either submit by sending me an email at:
indiancowboysblog@gmail.com
Or by using the Blog Carnival Submit Form.
Let’s have some fun with this.
Instead of sending submissions, what about collecting and publishing (within a separate hosting blog) RSS feeds from other psych blogs?

now that just confuses me. I could set up a TTLB community, which would have two columns showing recent posts as well as most linked posts, and on the side would be links to all the psychbloggers that are part of it.
In fact, I think I will.

Likely a little late with this connection, may have already gone down [from a 6-1 date], but am sending a URL on a post I hope you appreciate. My vantage point: Trying to stand on the balance beam, either the traditional psychopharm edge or the purely functional edge can land you and the patient smack on the floor.
SPECT does add a new dimension. Very useful. SPECT isn’t another “only,” but a tool that works on a bad day 85% accuracy. Connect the dots with good lab evidence and a careful interview, and psych can really be fun. Cellular and molecular physiology will be the context of most future interventions.
Look forward to chatting,
Cheers for the New Year!
