Parenting College Freshmen

Listen via Real Audio
When kids go off to college, they start a new life; they have more responsibilities, and meet new friends. For parents, it can be difficult to adjust, how can they stay involved in their child's life, without being overbearing? Dr. Dan Gottlieb and his guests will discuss parenting college-age children. We'll be joined by Linda Bips, she has written Parenting College Freshmen: Consulting for Adulthood. We'll also hear from Patrick Roger-Gordon, Assistant Dean for Student Services at The College of New Jersey in Ewing, NJ.

Revenge

Listen via Real Audio
Somebody at work ridicules you in a meeting. You stay calm, fuming inside. Next chance you get - you hide your co-workers palm pilot. Childish? Sure - but it feels so good! Research shows that our desire for revenge may be hard-wired in our genes. Preparing for revenge lights up the same centers of the brain as satisfying hunger. Dan Gottlieb and his guests will take a scientific look at revenge. Our guests are Dr. Andrew Newberg, and Michael McCullough. Newberg is Assistant Professor of Radiology University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, McCullough is professor of psychology and religious studies at the University of Miami.

Marriage and Relationships

Listen via Real Audio
In a recent study, untrained college students were able to predict the outcome of a marriage just by watching couples argue. What did they see that is so obvious? Dan Gottlieb and his guests will discuss what makes relationships work, and what causes them to fail. His guests are Argie Allen and Dr. Robert Waldinger. Allen is assistant director of training at the Council for Relationships in Philadelphia. Waldinger is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard University, and co-authored the study on marriage outcomes.

Women and Sexual Desire

Listen via Real Audio
A low sex drive in women has been linked to hormones, and is often diagnosed as a dysfunction. But what are the external factors that influence sexual desire? What about stress, lack of self-esteem, or the relationship a woman is in? Dan Gottlieb will discuss a new book called Reclaiming Your Sexual Self. It encourages women to take charge of their sexual health and well-being. Author Kathryn Hall Ph.D. is a psychologist in New Jersey.
