A Relationship Experts Comments on the Dr. Laura Controversy
Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s appeal to the masses, evidenced in her 30 years spent writing and talking about relationships has always perplexed me. We do not need to be perfect to help others; however, a little delving into Dr. Laura’s life reveals some incredibly strained interpersonal relationships (to say the very least). Again, it is not for me to judge how someone lives their life but I would like to think someone who is in the profession of helping people in their intimate relationships actually has one of their own.
While a guest on CNN’s “Larry King Live” show, Dr. Laura told Larry King she will not be renewing her contract which expires at the end of this year, claiming she wants to “regain my First Amendment rights”. In the event you are aware of the controversy swirling around her, Dr. Laura used the “n” word 11 times within the course of five minutes during a call-in interview on her radio show. The caller was in a bi-racial marriage. She was an African-American woman who was seeking help on how to handle racial comments from her husband’s relatives and friends.
Any person who proclaims to be an expert dealing with people in relationships should understand that all relationships, especially those of an intimate nature, are based upon mutual respect, trust and understanding. The fact that others use a reprehensible, derogatory word does not in any way condone the use of that word. And the “n” word, which I cannot even allow myself to write out in full, is one of the most disgusting words one could use to describe anyone. Period!
Dr. Laura’s rationale for using this word, was that black comedians on HBO use it all the time – is absurd. This reminds me of Parents who are trying to teach their children not to hit each other when they are angry – go over to their child – hit them and say: “You don’t hit”! This makes no sense at all! Children will repeat what they see and as an expert, we have an obligation to lead by example in our words and deeds!!
Having never been a fan of Dr. Laura, I say good-bye and good riddance’s. If her radio station is looking for a real relationship expert, one who not only talks the talk but walks the walk – give me a call!

Relationship Breakup $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A relationship breakup, often referred to simply as a breakup, is the termination of a usually intimate relationship by any means other than bereavement. The act is commonly termed a dump in slang when it is initiated by one partner. The term is less likely to be applied to a married couple, where a breakup is typically called a separation or divorce.Grief counselor and breakup expert Susan Elliott writes that the emotions of grief after a breakup are essentially the same as those as any grief process. Her research reflects that of Beverley Raphael who likened the process of grief as phases rather than stages. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Yet in spite of the availability of all these resources, many of us still struggle to discover and keep the love of our lives. That is, until now. This groundbreaking book from the frontiers of psychology offers startling new research about the one missing factor that is vital to relationships – forgiveness.

Dr. Luskin delivers a proven seven-step program for creating and maintaining loving and lasting relationships, teaching easy-to-learn forgiveness skills that will not only resolve immediate conflicts but improve the overall happiness and longevity of your relationships.

OccupancyAbundance Relationship $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In macroecology, the occupancyabundance (OA) relationship is the relationship between the abundance of species and the size of their ranges within a region. This relationship is perhaps one of the most welldocumented relationships in macroecology, and applies both intra and interspecifically (within and among species). In most cases, the OA relationship is a positive relationship. Although an OA relationship would be expected, given that a species colonizing a region must pass through the origin (zero abundance, zero occupancy) and could reach some theoretical maximum abundance and distribution (that is, occupancy and abundance can be expected to covary), the relationship described here is somewhat more substantial, in that observed changes in range are associated with greaterthanproportional changes in abundance. Although this relationship appears to be pervasive (e.g. Gaston 1996 and references therein), and has important implications for the conservation of endangered species, the mechanism(s) underlying it remain poorly understood.

Relationship Counseling $82.85 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Relationship counseling is the process of counseling the parties of a relationship in an effort to recognize and to better manage or reconcile troublesome differences and repeating patterns of distress. The relationship involved may be between members of a family or a couple (see also family therapy), employees or employers in a workplace, or between a professional and a client. Couple therapy (or relationship therapy) is a related and different process. It may differ from relationship counseling in duration. Short term counseling may be between 1 to 3 sessions whereas long term couples therapy may be between 12 and 24 sessions. An exception being brief or solution focused couples therapy. In addition, counseling tends to be more here and now and new coping strategies the outcome. Couples therapy is more about seemingly intractable problems with a relationship history, where emotions are the target and the agent of change.

Relationship Education $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Relationship education presents and promotes the principles and practices of premarital education, relationship resources, relationship restoration, relationship maintenance, and researchbased marriage preparation. The formal organization of relationship education in the USA began in the late1970s by a diverse group of professionals concerned that the results of conventional methods and means of marriage therapy resulted in no appreciable reduction in the elevated rate of divorce and outofwedlock births. The motivation for relationship education was found in numerous studied observations of the elevated rates of marital and family breakdown, school dropouts, incarceration, drug addiction, unemployment, suicide, homicide, domestic abuse and other negative social factors when either or both divorce or outofwedlock pregnancy were noted. In all of the negative categories noted above, statistical overrepresentation of adults whose childhood did not involve both of their parents was present.

Relationship Trauma $168.87 RELATIONSHIP TRAUMA reveals indepth experiences of eleven women who survived abusive and traumatic intimate relationships. It is based on a comprehensive research study through which a theory emerged depicting intricate and dynamic pushingpulling processes that the women endured in these destructive relationships. This theory encapsulates the increasingly intense mental, emotional, behavioural, physical, and spiritual effects of abuse and trauma, the varied coping strategies used throughout the relationship, how the women broke free from the grips of the emotional tie, and their road to recovery. The traumatic relationship progresses through a series of stages: from the initial development of a loving bond, to its eventual distortion, and finally to breaking the emotional lock after becoming traumatized. This book is essential reading for researchers, clinicians, and those individuals who share these devastating experiences to gain a deeper understanding of the abusive relationship that becomes traumatic and for learning new ways to recover from its grip.

Relationship Extraction $74.88 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A relationship extraction task requires the detection and classification of semantic relationship mentions within a set of artifacts, typically from text or XML documents. The task is very similar to that of information extraction (IE), but IE additionally requires the removal of repeated relations (disambiguation) and generally refers to the extraction of many different relationships. One approach to this problem involves the use of domain ontologies. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

The coefficient of kinship is defined as the probability that the alleles at a particular locus chosen at random from two individuals are identical by descent. For example, in a diploid species (e.g. all mammals), the coefficient of relationship between parent and offspring is 0.5, meaning half of the offsprings genome comes from that parent. Or, more precisely said, half the genes are identical by descent. Some other relatedness examples: (assuming no consanguinity, for diploid species unless noted otherwis).

StructureActivity Relationship $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Structureactivity relationships (SAR) are the traditional practices of medicinal chemistry which try to modify the effect or the potency (i.e. activity) of bioactive chemical compounds by modifying their chemical structure. Medicinal chemists use the techniques of chemical synthesis to insert new chemical groups into the biomedical compound and test the modifications for their biological effects. This enables the identification and determination of the chemical groups responsible for evoking a target biological effect in the organism. This method was later refined to build mathematical relationships between a chemical structure and its biological activity, known as quantitative structureactivity relationships (QSAR). A related term is structure affinity relationship (SAFIR). Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
