WEB SITES OF INTEREST

The following URIs (uniform resource identifiers) tested valid on 20 January 2001.

• Simon Sobo, MD talks about the negative consequences of psychoactive drugs like the SSRIs. (The SSRIs are the drugs similar to Prozac�.)
• Eva Hudlicka and Jean-Marc Fellous edit the Salk Institue's Web site devoted to emotion.
• Glen O. Gabbard, MD reviews the evidence which shows that psychotherapy changes brain function.
• Dr. Daniel J. Siegel reviews the connection between social interventions and brain function. We know that social interventions like behavior modification change neurophysiology. Dr. Siegel suggests that neuroplasticity may permit social interventions to change the autistic child's neuroanatomy as well.
• Deborah A. Lott summarizes theory and research on social milieu, brain development and later psychological vulnerability.
• Roger Rosenblatt of PBS views American culture as using cognitive sophistication to counterfeit emotional experience.
• Judith Griffin of the Autism Society of Wisconsin has compiled and written a brief, clear, nontechnical summary of autism. Newcomers to autism should begin their study of the subject by reading Judith's article.
• The Chapel Hill Area Local Unit (keyword: CHALU) of the North Carolina Autism Society offers superb and sophisticated information about autism. I recommend Dr. Isabelle Rapin's comprehensive review article and Linda R. Watson's discussion of theoretical issues in autism.
