Vi blev teleporteret tilbage til 80/90’erne med teaterkoncerten Vilde kaniner på Østre Gasværk i dag. Visuel flot blanding af musik, akrobatik og teater. Forestillingen er heldigvis tro mod, at Peter A G er en rigtig Mr swing king fodgænger rytmehans

Great way to think about life choices. Also religion as part of convictions makes religion more relevant to me - at least as historical context.

Så blev Nanna student. Stor dag for et ungt menneske. Tillykke, siger Ulla, Jamie og jeg 🍾🥂 Vi tog en tur i Nørre G’s selfie-maskine, da hun havde fået huen på 🇩🇰

My opinion piece in today’s @nytimes.com . I discuss how clinical neglect of medication-related harms has made RFK Jr’s stance on antidepressants appealing to so many and moving the public conversation in a productive direction requires us to remedy this neglect. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/03/o...

Ideas to stay in balance now the great american shitshow has arrived in Europe: Drop social media supporting Tr•mp. Block words like Tr•mp, M•sk and V•nce. Read a serious newspaper in print. Boycot products supporting Tr•mp. Support something. Enjoy life.

Dansk Psykoterapeutforening har fået ny formand i weekenden, 47-årige Christina Lehtinen. Hun afløser Pia Clementsen, der går på pension efter 6 år på posten. Øget anerkendelse af de privatuddannede psykoterapeuter er et af målene for den nye formand. psykoterapeutforeningen.dk/artikler/chr...

Great interview connecting psychotherapy and social justice.

Arne Astrups forfriskende ærlighed om dårlige ernæringsråd baseret på smal evidens er en påmindelse om, at forskning, praksiserfaringer og sund fornuft skal følges af - også i jagten på den bedste behandling af problemer med mental sundhed. politiken.dk/danmark/sund...

First time blinded by the sun om my commute to work this winter.

Every living being have a multidimensional sense of self. This sense is difficult to get hold of, just like the actual healing components in psychotherapy. A way to point to it could - perhaps - be jazz for cows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dZ-...

Når man bruger familieterapeuter til at hjælpe udsatte nybagte forældre ender det med færre tvangsfjernede børn. Ikke overraskende. Meget glædeligt. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Will AI replace therapists? Newsweek asked experts, including me, about their opinion. Spoiler alert: no, it will not, but it will change mental health care. www.newsweek.com/will-ai-repl...

Lidt overrasket over, at Frederiks nytårstale momentvis svingede som gonzo-rap tilsat Dan Turell. Gode budskaber om frivillighed, fællesskab, mistrivsel, Ukraine og (i realiteten) Gaza. Resten var vel så lige dele kliché, tradition og lidt småkedelig familiekrønike. Jeg husker musikaliteten.

Hør vores nye podcast-serie “En samtale til forskel” i juleferien.

Check the effect of psychotherapy on various mental health problems. Also for non-experts. Large database. On average less than half get better. Not bad, but not too good either. www.metapsy.org

I tried to read the whole book, but failed so far. Now I put my faith on this series going through Handbook of psychotherapy and behaviour change. 16 hours in total. (Introduction ends at 5.35 in part one) youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Mere tidlig indsats og mindre medicin. Debatindlæg af min formand, Pia Clementsen, i Sundhedsmonitor sundhedsmonitor.dk/debat/art101...

Sundhedsreform lover behandlingsgaranti hos praktiserende speciallæger. Ikke-akut ventetid hos psykiatere i dag 114 uger. Ansæt flere af vores medlemmer til selve psykoterapien, foreslår vi. Så slipper patienterne også for, som i dag, at betale selv. www.sundhed.dk/borger/guide...
