Sober for Good

The battle against addiction is not only difficult, but it is a battle often lost. Nevertheless, millions of addicts seek help from organizations like AA, or from treatment clinics every year, but the research on what works and what doesn't points into many different directions. Dan Gottlieb will discuss available treatment options and their success with Anne Fletcher, she is an award-winning health journalist and author of several best-selling books. Her latest is called Sober for Good. (Rebroadcast) Listen »

Telling Lies

As much as we hate to admit it, we all lie. "You look great." "What a cute baby." "You don't look a day older than 30." And then there are bigger lies, lies that hurt people, can destroy reputations, friendships, and even families. Join Dr. Dan Gottlieb for a discussion on lying - we'll explore if it is okay to lie sometimes, and what its effects can be. Our guest is Dr. Paul Eckman, professor of Psychology at the University of California in San Francisco. Listen »

Children and the Internet

It is 10 o'clock, and most likely, you know where your kids are - but do you know who they are talking to online? Digital technology has opened many new ways of communicating, but it also makes parenting a lot more difficult. There's been a lot of news about children being abducted and assaulted by people they met on the internet. Dr. Dan Gottlieb will discuss how parents can monitor their children's online contacts without being overprotective. His guests are psychologists Dr. Doug Davis of Haverford College, and Dr. Armond Averinsky. Listen »
