"FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

9. Plaintiff Alexander Morris is an African American man and is the lead singer of the famous Motown group the "Four Tops." At the time of the incident the Four Tops were on a national music tour with the Temptations and had recently performed at the Grammy Awards.

10. On or about April 7, 2023; Plaintiff was transported to the Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital emergency room via ambulance, and he presented to the emergency room with difficulty breathing and chest pain, he was on oxygen, and he had a significant known history of cardiac disease including the placement of stints and defibrillator. During his hospitalization, Plaintiff was ultimately diagnosed with a heart infraction that may require a heart transplant, pneumonia, and he suffered three seizures during his stay.

11. When he presented to the emergency room Plaintiff informed a nurse and a security guard that he was a member of the famous Motown group the "Four Tops," and that he had current security concerns due to stalkers and fans.

12. Shortly after check-in a nurse Holly Jackson, a White male security guard Greg Ciesielski, and a White male emergency room doctor Brandon Harris Fishman, DO racially profiled him and/or profiled him based upon a perceived disability and placed an order for a psychological evaluation for Plaintiff because they did not believe he was a singer or member of the "Four Tops." Doctor Brandon Harris Fishman, DO, the emergency room doctor who was on staff met with Plaintiff and interviewed him, Plaintiff informed him of his medical history, and informed him that he was having difficulty breathing and chest pain. Defendants and Brandon Harris Fishman, DO wrongfully assumed he was mentally ill when he revealed his identity as a celebrity figure. Defendants and/or Brandon Harris Fishman, DO made the decision to remove him from oxygen and pursue a psychiatric evaluation instead despite his clear symptoms of cardiac distress and significant medical history.

13. Plaintiff had a valid identification on his person and could easily have been identified as a singer in the Four Tops group.

14. Brandon Harris Fishman, DO ordered a psychological evaluation for Plaintiff instead of ordering the emergency medical treatment he needed. Plaintiff was denied the emergency medical care he needed due to his heart condition and pneumonia, and instead a security guard was instructed to ensure he was placed into a restraining jacket and/or a four-point restraint mechanism, removed his belongings, and Plaintiff was told he was going to have a "psych eval" or psychological evaluation. Plaintiff was referred to Virjaya Gopal Kotha, MD for the psychological evaluation.

15. Plaintiff asked if he could prove his identity by showing his identification card, and the White male security guard ordered him to "sit his Black ass down." None of the nursing staff intervened to stop the racial discrimination and mistreatment of Plaintiff. Upon information and belief none of the nursing staff reported the mistreatment or use of the racial slur to a supervisor. Moreover, none of the nursing staff thought to simply ask for Plaintif's identification.

16. Plaintiff told medical staff he was having difficulty breathing and asked for the oxygen back but was ignored. Plaintiff asked to have the restraint device removed and asked for his personal belongings back so he could leave and seek treatment at another hospital, and he was told he was not free to leave; thus, he was falsely imprisoned and deprived of his personal property. During this time his medical condition continuously declined and he was denied the medical treatment he desperately needed.

17. Several security guards were called to surround the nursing station to ensure Plaintiff could not leave. During this entire incident Plaintiff was not being treated for his medical emergency, namely a severe heart condition and pneumonia. Defendant Hospital and Defendant Jackson blatantly refused to provide Plaintiff with medical treatment due to his race and/or perceived mental disability. Instead, Plaintiff received a deliberate misdiagnosis and received a lower standard of medical care based on his race that amounted to racial discrimination and delayed his actual diagnosis.

18. Finally, Plaintiff's wife came to the nursing station to collect his belongings and she saw what was transpiring and Plaintiff informed his wife that the doctors thought he was delusional. Plaintiff's wife informed one of the security officers that he was actually a member of the Four Tops, but he took no action on Plaintiff's behalf, and he was left in the restraints and denied medical treatment. A nurse came to Plaintiff's side, and Plaintiff asked to show the nurse the video of him performing at the Grammys. The nurse realized Plaintiff was a member of the Four Tops, and the nurse went and got the emergency room doctor to inform him. The emergency room doctor returned and said he was cancelling the psychological evaluation.

19. The restraint jacket was finally removed, and he was placed back on oxygen. Plaintiff was restrained for approximately an hour and a half or 90 minutes. As aforementioned, during his hospitalization, Plaintiff was ultimately diagnosed with a heart infraction that may require a heart transplant, pneumonia, and he suffered three seizures during his stay.

20. Plaintiff was offered a $25.00 gift card to Meijers as an apology for the dehumanization and discrimination he faced at the hands of the hospital. He refused to accept the gift card.

21. Subsequent to the incident, a security guard that worked at the hospital contacted Plaintiff and informed him that Greg Ciesielski the security guard that restrained Plaintiff and made the racist comment, made racist comments and jokes to him and other coworkers about African Americans, and that he frequently used excessive force with patients.

22. The security guard who called Plaintiff also reported that he witnessed employees tampering with the internal incident report made on the incident involving Plaintiff, and he believed the use of racial slur was removed from the internal incident report, and he stated that employees were instructed not to discuss the incident. The security guard also stated that Greg Ciesielski was not disciplined or suspended because of the incident.

23. As a result of the above actions and inactions of Defendants as described above and below, Plaintiff suffered injuries and damages. Defendants are sued jointly and severally."

Hale had been diagnosed with at least five mental illnesses and had received cocktails of psychiatric drugs as “treatment” and some of the adverse events associated with just the known drugs (Lorazepam, Buspirone, Lexapro, Hydroxyzine and Prozac) Hale had been prescribed could be responsible for the shooter’s deadly thoughts.

So why are Hale’s mental health records being withheld (Evidence Item #46 “Psych File”) for public review? It’s no secret that Vanderbilt “treated” Hale most of her life. The “treatment” provided to Hale included talk therapy and mind-altering psychotropic drugs…cocktails of them.

Who wants to bet that not one of the psychiatrists, therapists or MDs at Vanderbilt ever advised Hale’s parents or Hale that none of the psychiatric drugs being prescribed actually treated any known abnormality in the brain? In other words, not one of Hale’s treating physicians ever said “hey, we don’t know what is causing your behavior, but these drugs will make you feel different.

They aren’t treating any abnormality in your brain because there are no known abnormalities in your brain for any of our psychiatric diagnoses.” This is called informed consent. Telling patients, the truth about a diagnosis and treatment.

But, of course, no one can say whether this information was provided to Hale because Hale’s mental health records haven’t been made public. But the “right” people have seen the mental health records.

Psychopathology, Ch 2 pt. 3

Identify the major types of helping professionals and describe their training backgrounds and professional roles.

Clinical psychologists: have earned a doctoral degree in psychology, either a PhD (Doctorate of Philosophy), a PsyD (Doctorate of Psychology), or an EdD (Doctorate of Education) from an accredited college or university. Training in clinical psychology typically involves four years of graduate coursework, followed by a year-long internship and completion of a doctoral dissertation. Clinical psychologists specialize in administering psychological tests, diagnosing psychological disorders, and practicing psychotherapy. Until recently, they were not permitted to prescribe psychiatric drugs. However, as of this writing, five states (Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, and New Mexico) have enacted laws granting prescription privileges to psychologists who complete specialized training programs. The granting of prescription privileges to psychologists remains a hotly contested issue between psychologists and psychiatrists and within the field of psychology itself.

Counseling psychologists: also hold doctoral degrees in psychology and have completed graduate training preparing them for careers in college counseling centers and mental health facilities. They typically provide counseling to people with psychological problems falling in a milder range of severity than those treated by clinical psychologists, such as difficulties adjusting to college or uncertainties regarding career choices.

Psychoanalysts: typically are either psychiatrists or psychologists who have completed extensive additional training in psychoanalysis. They are required to undergo psychoanalysis themselves as part of their training.

Psychiatrists: have earned a medical degree (MD) and completed a residency program in psychiatry. Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of psychological disorders. As licensed physicians, they can prescribe psychiatric drugs and may employ other medical interventions, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Many also practice psychotherapy based on training they receive during their residency programs or in specialized training institutes.

Psychiatric nurses: typically are registered nurses (RNs) who have completed a master’s program in psychiatric nursing. They may work in psychiatric facilities or in group medical practices where they treat people suffering from severe psychological disorders.

Clinical or psychiatric social workers: have earned a master’s degree in social work (MSW) and use their knowledge of community agencies and organizations to help people with severe mental disorders receive the services they need. For example, they may help people with schizophrenia make a more successful adjustment to the community once they leave the hospital. Many clinical social workers practice psychotherapy or specific forms of therapy, such as marital or family therapy.

Counselors: have earned a master’s degree by completing a graduate program in a counseling field, such as mental health counseling or rehabilitation counseling. Counselors work in many settings, including private practices, schools, college testing and counseling centers, and hospitals and health clinics. Many specialize in vocational evaluation, marital or family therapy, rehabilitation counseling, or substance abuse counseling. Counselors may focus on providing psychological assistance to people with milder forms of disturbed behavior or those struggling with a chronic or debilitating illness or recovering from a traumatic experience. Some are clergy members who are trained in pastoral counseling programs to help parishioners cope with personal problems.

Describe the goals and techniques of the following forms of psychotherapy: psychodynamic therapy, behavior therapy, person-centered therapy, cognitive therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, eclectic therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and couples therapy.

Psychotherapy: a structured form of treatment derived from a psychological framework that consists of one or more verbal interactions or treatment sessions between a client and a therapist.

- used to treat psychological disorders, help clients change maladaptive behaviors or solve life’s problems, or to help them develop their unique potentials.

Psychoanalysis: the method of psychotherapy developed by Sigmund Freud.

Psychodynamic therapy: therapy that helps individuals gain insight into and resolve deep-seated conflicts in the unconscious mind.

Free association: the method of verbalizing thoughts as they occur without a conscious attempt to edit or censor them.

Transference relationship: in psychoanalysis, the client’s transfer or generalization to the analyst of feelings and attitudes the client holds toward important figures in their life.

Countertransference: in psychoanalysis, the transfer of the analyst’s feelings or attitudes toward other persons in their life onto the client.

Behavior therapy: the therapeutic application of learning-based techniques to resolve psychological disorders.

Systematic desensitization: a behavior therapy technique for overcoming phobias by means of exposure to progressively more fearful stimuli (in imagination or by viewing slides) while remaining deeply relaxed.

Gradual exposure: in behavior therapy, a method of overcoming fears through a stepwise process of exposure to increasingly fearful stimuli in imagination or in real-life situations.

Token economy: a behavioral treatment program that creates a controlled environment in which desirable behaviors are reinforced by dispensing tokens that may be exchanged for desired rewards.

Person-centered therapy: the establishment of a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship that frees clients to engage in self-exploration and achieve self-acceptance.

Empathy: the ability to understand someone’s experiences and feelings from that person’s point of view.

Genuineness: the ability to recognize and express one’s true feelings.

Congruence: the coherence or fit among one’s thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.

Cognitive therapy: a form of therapy that helps clients identify and correct faulty cognitions (thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) believed to underlie their emotional problems and maladaptive behavior.

Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT): a therapeutic approach that focuses on helping clients replace irrational, maladaptive beliefs with alternative, more adaptive beliefs.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): a form of psychotherapy incorporating cognitive and behavioral techniques.

Eclectic therapy: an approach to psychotherapy that incorporates principles or techniques from various systems or theories.

Group therapy: a form of therapy in which a group of clients with similar problems meets together with a therapist.

Family therapy: a form of therapy in which the family, not the individual, is the unit of treatment.

Couples therapy: a form of therapy that focuses on resolving conflicts in distressed couples.

Evaluate the effectiveness of psychotherapy and the role of non-specific factors in therapy.

Nonspecific treatment factors: factors not specific to any one form of psychotherapy, including

empathy, support, and attention shown by the therapist

the therapeutic alliance = attachment the client develops toward the therapist and the therapy process

the working alliance = effective working relationship in which the therapist and client work together identifying and confronting the important problems and concerns the client faces

Telehealth: delivery or facilitation of treatment services via telecommunication or digital technology.

Evaluate the role of multicultural factors in psychotherapy and barriers to use of mental health services by ethnic minorities.

- Cultural sensitivity involves more than good intentions. Therapists must have accurate knowledge of cultural factors and the ability to apply that knowledge when developing culturally sensitive approaches to treatment.

- Just because a given therapy works with one population group does not mean that it will necessarily work with other groups. Therapists using established treatments should consider how they can incorporate culturally specific elements to boost treatment benefits in working with people from different ethnic or racial groups.

- Some of the barriers to mental health services for marginalized communities include...

Cultural mistrust: People from minority groups often fail to use mental health services because they don’t trust mental health institutions/professionals. Mistrust may stem from a cultural and/or personal history of oppression and discrimination, or experiences in which service providers were unresponsive to their needs. When minority clients perceive white therapists and white-dominated institutions to be cold or impersonal, they are less likely to place their trust in them.

Mental health literacy: A person may not make use of mental health services because they lack knowledge of mental disorders and how to treat them.

Institutional barriers: Facilities may be inaccessible to marginalized people because they are located at a considerable distance from their homes or because public transportation is lacking. Marginalized people are often overwhelmed or intimidated by bureaucratic red tape and/or protocol around health procedures.

Cultural barriers: Many recent immigrants have had little or no previous contact with mental health professionals. They may hold different conceptions of mental health problems or view mental health problems as less severe than physical problems. In some cultures, the family is expected to take care of members who have psychological problems and may resist outside assistance. Other cultural barriers include cultural differences between socio-economically disadvantaged clients and majority white + middle-class mental health staff, and the stigma often associated with seeking mental health treatment.

Language barriers: Mental health facilities may lack the resources to hire mental health professionals who are fluent in the languages of the communities they  serve.

Economic and accessibility barriers: Financial burdens are often a major barrier to use of mental health services. Living in a rural or isolated area where mental health services may be lacking or inaccessible is also a big hurdle.

Psychopharmacology: the field of study that examines the effects of therapeutic or psychiatric drugs.

Identify the major categories of psychotropic or psychiatric drugs and examples of drugs in each type and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

Anti-anxiety drugs: drugs that combat anxiety and reduce states of muscle tension.

~ also called anxiolytics

~ examples include benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax) as well as hypnotic sedatives (Halcion)

+ can be safe and effective in treating anxiety and insomnia

- potential for psychological and/or physical dependence, so they tend to be better for short term or occasional relief, not long term or daily use

Rebound anxiety: the experiencing of strong anxiety following withdrawal from a tranquilizer.

Antipsychotic drugs: drugs used to treat schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders.

~ also called neuroleptics

~ examples include Thorazine, Mellaril, Prolixin, Clozapil (atypical)

+ drastically reduced the need for long-term hospitalization, physical restraints, and confinement

- unpleasant side effects, such as muscular rigidity and tremors; long-term use of antipsychotic drugs (with exception of Clozapine) can produce tardive dyskinesia, a potentially irreversible and disabling motor disorder

Antidepressants: drugs used to treat depression that affect the availability of neurotransmitters in the brain.

~ four major classes: tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norephinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)

~ examples include Tofranil, Elavil, Sinequan (tricyclics), Nardil (MAOI), Prozac, Zoloft (SSRI), Effexor (SNRI)

+ antidepressants provide beneficial effects for a wide variety of psychological disorders

- however, there are side effects for each category, and in the case of MAOIs, a patient’s diet is heavily restricted

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): a method of treating severe depression by administering electrical shocks to the brain.

+ significant improvement for patients experiencing severe epileptic seizures or major clinical depression that has not responded to other treatment

- high relapse rates and memory loss for events occurring around the time of treatment; for these reasons, ECT is a last resort

Describe the use of psychosurgery and evaluate its effectiveness.

~ Previously, the prefrontal lobotomy was the most common form of psychosurgery. This procedure involved surgically severing nerve pathways linking the thalamus to the prefrontal lobes of the brain.

~ The premise of this operation was the belief that severing the connections between the thalamus and the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex would control a patient’s violent or aggressive tendencies.

- This procedure was abandoned because (1) there was insufficient evidence of its effectiveness and (2) it often produced serious complications or even death.

- When anti-psychotic drugs became available during the 1950s, psychosurgery was all but eliminated.

+ In recent years, more sophisticated psychosurgery techniques have been introduced which target much smaller parts of the brain and produce far less damage than the prefrontal lobotomy. These techniques have been used to treat patients with severe OCD, bipolar, and/or major clinical depression who have failed to respond to other treatments.

~ Another experimental technique is deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgical procedure in which electrodes are implanted in the brain and used to electrically stimulate deeper brain structures.

+ DBS shows promise in treating severe forms of depression and OCD that have failed to respond to more conservative treatments.

- However, DBS may have serious complications and its effectiveness needs to be investigated further. Thus, it is still an experimental treatment.

Evaluate biomedical treatment approaches.

~ Overall, a combination of medication and talk therapy seems to be more helpful for most mental health patients than either treatment alone.

~ The benefits and risks/side effects of each medication need to be carefully considered and discussed by the provider and the patient.

James Donaldson on Mental Health - Suicide Rates Among Asian American and Pacific Islander Youths—A Cause for Alarm

James Donaldson on Mental Health - Suicide Rates Among Asian American and Pacific Islander Youths—A Cause for Alarm Photo by Mental Health America (MHA) on Pexels.com Anthony L. Bui, MD, MPH Anna S. Lau, PhD Suicide is the leading cause of death for Asian American and Pacific Islander youths.1 Asian American individuals are the fastest growing racial group in the United States, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander individuals are the third fastest. Despite the critical importance of preventing suicide among this growing population, the study of mental health among Asian American and Pacific Islander populations has been historically understudied and underfunded nationally.2 Elsewhere in JAMA Network Open, Keum et al3 present a cross-sectional analysis examining trends in suicide rates among Asian American and Pacific Islander youths aged 10 to 19 years. Utilizing national mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics, the authors calculate crude suicide rates across male and female groups and conduct a trend analysis to assess annual percent changes. The authors found that Asian American and Pacific Islander youth suicide rates have been increasing. In 2021, the Asian American and Pacific Islander male and female youth suicide rates were 6.49 and 3.72 per 100?000 individuals, respectively. The authors found large increases in suicide rates from 1999 to 2021, with a 72% increase in youth suicide rates for males and 125% increase for females during the 22-year period. They detected that Asian American and Pacific Islander male and female youths experienced growth in suicide rates, starting in 2009 and 2004 and peaking in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The findings of this study bring up several important points for discussion. First, the rise of Asian American and Pacific Islander youth suicide rates is alarming and coincides with a growing increase in anti-Asian hate and xenophobia, including hate incidents, verbal abuse, and cyberbullying, seen during this period.4 Structural, institutional, and interpersonal racism contribute to harm youths. Notably, oppression, marginalization, and erasure of culture may contribute to accelerating risk of suicide seen in Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adolescents, who have higher odds of suicide attempts compared with White peers.5 The lethality of risks are further exacerbated by the prevailing model minority stereotype, in which Asian American and Pacific Islander youths are all generalized to be academically exceptional, socially mobile, diligent, and well-adjusted. This stereotype was born out of political motivation to deny the current conditions and persistent legacy of racism, conveying that through hard work all people can succeed in a country that functions as a meritocracy. This ideological device is used to deter coalitions for racial justice among minoritized groups against systems of disadvantage. It also belies minority stress experiences that affect Asian American and Pacific Islander youths and renders invisible forms of distress and mental health needs. One by-product of this invisibility is the under recognition of depression and suicide risk. Previous studies have shown that Asian American youths with need are less likely to seek out mental health care and utilize school-based services or psychotropic medications compared with youths who belong to other racial and ethnic groups. Large disparities in treatment are even observed among youths who received emergency attention for acute psychiatric crises (most commonly involving suicide risk), with Asian American and Pacific Islander youths being the racial group least likely to receive follow-up outpatient care.6 Help-seeking barriers include family and individual stigma and limited mental health literacy, but these individual factors interact with structural barriers, resulting in a profound lack of accessible culturally and linguistically responsive services for Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Second, the authors3 note important patterns as a function of sex. Although Asian American and Pacific Islander male youths have higher suicide rates compared with female youths, Asian American and Pacific Islander female youths have seen larger increases in the rates during the study period. We agree with the authors that culturally rooted and gendered family roles may contribute to the higher suicide rates among Asian American and Pacific Islander male youths, while worsening intersectional discrimination from sexism and racism may contribute to the growing rates among Asian American and Pacific Islander female youths. In terms of sexuality, due to the limitations of national mortality data, this study was unable to disaggregate suicide rate trends among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youths, who have much higher rates of suicidal ideation and self-harm behaviors compared with heterosexual and cisgender youth.5 Intersectional minority stress may amplify these risks for Asian American and Pacific Islander sexual minority youths. It remains paramount to study prevalence, risk, and protective processes and to develop culturally responsive prevention to reduce suicide risk in this population. Third, it is imperative to assess whether increased access to firearms may be contributing to increasing rates of suicide among Asian American and Pacific Islander youths. Although suffocation remains the most common method of death by suicide among Asian American and Pacific Islander youths, this rate has been falling while use of firearms has increased sharply in recent years.1 Rates of firearm ownership, carrying, and unsafe storage have increased in Asian American and Pacific Islander households as anticipated racism-related threats have also increased since the COVID-19 pandemic with the associated rise in anti-Asian hate.7 New efforts focusing on lethal means safety, including recent federal funding opportunities, must attend to racism-related stress and need for firearm injury prevention in Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Fourthly, this study was limited in its ability to disaggregate the Asian American and Pacific Islander population into ethnic subgroups. Combining the more than 50 ethnic subgroups among Asian American and Pacific Islander individuals as a monolithic group undermines the heterogenous diversity and understanding of specific disparities among ethnic subgroups. It is important that future studies, public surveillance programs, and policy and advocacy efforts disaggregate Asian American and Pacific Islander subgroups to prioritize prevention efforts and facilitate culturally tailored solutions to youth suicide reduction. Lastly, the paucity of funding dedicated to Asian American and Pacific Islander mental health research is worrisome. Implicit and explicit biases and Asian American and Pacific Islander invisibility contribute to low investments from federal research and service funding mechanisms.2 The pervasive and harmful nature of the model minority stereotype has likely undermined the allocation of resources to study and serve this population and worsened inequities. Moreover, epidemiologic surveys have inadequate inclusion of Asian American and Pacific Islander populations to generate estimates of prevalence and incidence.4 We suspect that the recent rise in suicide rates among Asian American and Pacific Islander youths may be attributable to increased racialized stress, anti-immigrant sentiment, and Asian hate; escalating societal pressures on adolescents to achieve; and increased access to firearms. Although research on Asian American and Pacific Islander youth mental health has typically focused on cultural determinants, such as parent-child acculturation gaps in immigrant families or cultural values that shape family communication or achievement stress, we do not focus on these cultural deficit explanations. There is little reason to believe that marked changes to family processes or cultural heritage factors have occurred in recent years that can account for Asian American and Pacific Islander youth suicide rates peaking in 2020. Unfortunately, this increased need among Asian American and Pacific Islander youths has far outstripped the availability of culturally responsive mental health interventions. Asian American and Pacific Islander individuals deserve greater attention and representation in the science of mental health, suicide prevention, and health equity. To curb the worsening youth suicide rates seen in Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, we need meaningful investments in research along the translational spectrum, intentional workforce development of clinicians prepared to serve the Asian American and Pacific Islander community across youth sectors of care, improved surveillance, and culturally tailored, evidence-based, community-based interventions to support Asian American and Pacific Islander youth mental health. #James Donaldson notes:Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions.

Psychiatry Services | Psychiatric Diagnosis And Different.

A psychiatric diagnosis is different – there are often no physical symptoms, nor are there any biological tests conclusive for mental distress. Although tests can be important to rule out underlying physical causes, a health professional making a psychiatric diagnosis has to rely on a person’s own description of their thoughts and feelings, alongside observations of their behavior.

In this sense, it is often said that those best placed to make a diagnosis are the people themselves, supported by information and empowered discussion with health care professionals.

sex therapy

Can you find sex advice online? Yes, but be sure to check out a site as carefully as you would a therapist.

Jenny Peters (not her real name) was having difficulty with physical intimacy and pain during sex, but was too embarrassed to bring it up with her doctor.

Instead, she found a free Internet site where the doctor posted her question and, in his answer, suggested she get in-person therapy.

"The Internet got me on the right path," she says. "I wasn't scared to talk about it anymore. I went to my doctor and found out I had a bladder infection. She also put me on a long-term therapy program with my partner to become more comfortable with physical intimacy."

While the cast of television's "Sex and the City" discuss a myriad of sexual quandaries with ease, in real life, most people -- like Peters-- will stammer through questions about such topics as pain during sex or masturbation. In fact, embarrassment can be the biggest obstacle between a sexual problem and help.

That's where online sex experts can help, says Deborah Fox, MSW, a Washington, D.C., sex therapist with her own web site. "The Internet is useful for addressing sexual problems because people are able to ask questions that [otherwise] make them feel uncomfortable."

Online Roles and Limitations

Fox and other sex therapists offer their expertise online, providing educated responses to a variety of questions. They're quick to point out that this does not, however, qualify as therapy. At "Ask the Sex Doc," for example, William Fitzgerald, PhD, a sex therapist in Santa Clara, Calif., posts his answers to hundreds of questions, choosing the ones he feels are most universal.

Common questions easily answered online, according to Fitzgerald, include the effect of masturbation on sexual performance, the regaining of sex drive after the death of a spouse, and the way to approach a spouse about acting out a sexual fantasy. Some sites answer questions free of charge and post the answers for other users to see, while they may require a fee for answering questions privately.

Sandor Gardos, PhD, an online sex expert, also responds to questions on many sexual topics. But when a question is beyond the scope of what can be or should be answered online, Gardos is quick to suggest face-to-face professional help. He and other online sex therapists often recommend traditional therapy for issues that involve more complex problems, such as childhood sexual abuse. Fox adds that current technology simply doesn't allow for the equivalent of ongoing, in-person meetings necessary to resolve many sexual issues.

The Marriage of Therapy and Technology

Online sex therapy falls under the umbrella of "telemedicine," which also includes videoconferencing and telephone therapy.

Because telemedicine is in its infancy, the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association are still grappling with guidelines. Even so, both organizations emphasize that therapists who are online must adhere to ethics standards already in place.

William Stone, MD, who is on the American Psychiatric Association's Committee on Telemedicine, says the new technology is a mixed blessing. Although it is starting to bring therapy to people in remote locations, it also has limitations and potential dangers. For instance, doctors can usually prescribe drugs only in states where they are licensed to practice medicine, making it difficult to treat patients signing on from other states. And the images transmitted during videoconferences don't always allow detection of subtle changes in body language or expression that are often helpful in making a diagnosis during face-to-face meetings.

How to Judge the Sites

A reputable sex therapy site should have a disclaimer saying that the content and interactions do not constitute therapy or medical treatment, says Mitch Tepper, PhD, MPH, who has been researching online sex therapy sites for more than five years and launched his own in 1996.

Tepper also suggests checking sites to see if the therapists are certified by the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) or belong to other organizations such as the American Psychological Association or the American Psychiatric Association. Ask therapists where they were trained and how many years they have been in practice (or look on the site for background information on them), as well as how long they have been online.

By doing a bit of research on the therapist and the site, you will be more likely to find someone who is credible and competent.
