Resolving an Identity Crisis
by Bruce Fellman
For years, there has been something of a “holy war” between psychotherapists who favor the “talking cure,” and those who prescribe medications.

by Jennifer Kaylin

Unveiled with great fanfare more than 30 years ago as a revolutionary discovery, the Vinland Map was later considered to be a fraud. New tests suggest it’s the real thing after all, but its rehabilitation is a textbook case of how scholarship and science combine in establishing historical authenticity.
