Psych-holidays

A doctor friend of mine, a matter-of-fact, nuts-and-bolts surgical type used to bemoan the modules of psychology he had to endure in med school. Psych-holiday, he called it, as he tuned out and put his feet up. This is not medicine, it’s quackery.

It’s a convenient memory to link these two bits from the SBP, one on 50 ways to holiday in Ireland, and the other on eminent psychiatrist Ivor Browne (Yeah, I know he’s a psychiatrist and not a psychologist).

The only other link is the therapy you’d need if you can’t get out of Ireland for a 12-month period. Arrrgh.

They’re long, so I’ll post a link and not the entire articles.
