Erickson's psychosocial stages
I recall some discussions on this list a while back about the lack of empirical support for Erickson's psychosocial stages. Can someone point me in the direction of articles on this topic?

Poynter Online - Romenesko
The next time your students say that school is too stressful, have them read this missive from a Wall Street Journal reporter currently working in Iraq. :-) http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=45aid=72659 -- Christopher D.

Title: Poynter Online - Romenesko Poynteronline Romenesko: Your daily fix of media industry news, commentary, and memos. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2004 WSJ reporter Fassihi's e-mail to friends 9/29/2004 2:58:10 PMFrom: [Wall Street Journal reporter] Farnaz FassihiSubject: From BaghdadBeing a foreign correspondent in Baghdad these days is like beingundervirtual house arrest. Forget about the reasons that lured me tothis job: a chance to see the world, explore the exotic, meet newpeople in far away lands, discover their ways and tell stories that could make a difference.Little by little, day-by-day, being based in Iraq has defied all those reasons. I am house bound. I leave when I have a very good reason to and a scheduled interview. I avoid going to people's homes and never walk in the streets. I can't go grocery shopping any more, can't eatin restaurants, can't strike a conversation with strangers, can't lookfor stories, can't drive in any thing but a full armored car, can't go to scenes of breaking news stories, can't be stuck in traffic, can'tspeak English outside, can't take a road trip, can't say I'm an American, can't linger at checkpoints, can't be curious about whatpeople are saying, doing, feeling.And can't and can't. There has been one too many close calls, including a car bomb so nearour house that it blew out all the windows. So now my most pressingconcern every day is not to write a kick-ass story but to stay aliveand make sure our Iraqi employees stay alive. In Baghdad I am asecurity personnel first, a reporter second.It's hard to pinpoint when the 'turning point' exactly began. Was it Aprilwhen the Fallujah fell out of the grasp of the Americans? Was it when Moqtada and Jish Mahdi declared war on the U.S. military? Was itwhenSadr City, home to ten percent of Iraq's population, became a nightly battlefield for the Americans? Or was it when the insurgencybeganspreading from isolated pockets in the Sunni triangle to include most of Iraq? Despite President Bush's rosy assessments, Iraq remainsa disaster. If under Saddam it was a 'potential' threat, under the Americans it has been transformed to 'imminent and active threat,' aforeign policy failure bound to haunt the United States for decades to come.Iraqis like to call this mess 'the situation.'When asked 'how are thing?' they reply: 'the situation is very bad."What they mean by situation is this: the Iraqi government doesn't control most Iraqi cities, there are several car bombs going off each day around the country killing and injuring scores of innocent people,thecountry's roads are becoming impassable and littered by hundredsoflandmines and explosive devices aimed to kill American soldiers,there are assassinations, kidnappings and beheadings. The situation, basically, means a raging barbaric guerilla war. In four days, 110 people died and over 300 got injured in Baghdad alone. The numbers are so shocking that the ministry of health -- which was attempting an exercise of public transparency by releasing the numbers -- has now stopped disclosing them.Insurgents now attack Americans 87 times a day.A friend drove thru the Shiite slum of Sadr City yesterday. He saidyoung men were openly placing improvised explosive devices into the ground. They melt a shallow hole into the asphalt, dig the explosive, cover it with dirt and put an old tire or plastic can over it tosignal to the locals this is booby-trapped. He said on the main roadsof Sadr City, therewere a dozen landmines per every ten yards. His car snaked and swirled to avoid driving over them. Behind the wallssits an angry Iraqi ready to detonate them as soon as an Americanconvoy gets near. This is in Shiite land, the population that was supposed to love America for liberating Iraq.For journalists the significant turning point came with the wave of abduction and kidnappings. Only two weeks ago we felt safe around Baghdad because foreigners were being abducted on the roads and highways between towns. Then came a frantic phone call from a journalist female friend at 11 p.m. telling me two Italian women had been abducted from their homes in broad daylight. Then the two Americans, who got beheaded this week and the Brit, were abducted fromtheir homes in a residential neighborhood. They were supplying theentire block with round the clock electricity from their generator to win friends. The abductors grabbed one of them at 6 a.m. when he came out to switch on the generator; his beheaded body was thrown back near the neighborhoods./CONTINUED
BA, BS, or Both
Title: Message Hello all and welcome to this lovely Fall day (at least here in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia). Currently Shepherd only offers a BA in Psychology. We're considering offering a BS as well. In preparation for proposing the new program I was wondering how many of your institutions offer students the option to take either a BA or a BS? If you have a Web page that describes the programs, that would be helpful. As always, I'll be happy to summarize all the replies for anyone who is interested. Thanks much, Larry Larry Z.

Re: BA, BS, or Both
Title: Message Larry: Here at WLU in Waterloo, Ontario we offer both the BA and BSc degrees, both with General (3 years) or Honours (4 years) programs. Our program outlines can be found at http://info.wlu.ca/~wwwpsych/undergrad/undergrad-mainpage.shtml under Printable Program Outline or 2004-2005 Undergraduate Calendar Descriptions . While the psych courses taken are similar for the BA and BSc programs, the main difference lies in the elective courses; students taking the BSc must, not surprisingly, take many more courses from chem, physics, math, biology, computing, and physical geography. -Max Gwynn Maxwell Gwynn, PhD Undergraduate Advisor Department of PsychologyWilfrid Laurier University75 University Avenue WestWaterloo, ON N2L 3C5 Canada (519) 884-0710 ext 3854[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/12/2004 9:28:51 AM Hello all and welcome to this lovely Fall day (at least here in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia).

RE: BA, BS, or Both
Larry- At Albertson College we offer only the BA in psychology. We have had the occasional student who demands the BS in spite of our attempts to explain why they shouldn't. As the college does offer a BS (just not in very many areas) we usually comply with their requests just to have a happy graduate. :) Tim Shearon Hello all and welcome to this lovely Fall day (at least here in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia).
