posted by Elisha Goldstein, Ph.D. on Dec 15th 2009
Do You Have the "I am a Fraud" Syndrome?"Joe was a successful business guy climbing up the corporate ladder and receiving accolades from his colleagues for all the good work he has done. On the outside, Joe was seen as the golden boy. However, on the inside, Joe had this sinking feeling that he didn't deserve the accolades and was fooling everyone around him.

posted by Allan Schwartz, LCSW, Ph.D. on Dec 11th 2009
Child Abuse and the Role of Parental Denial"I recently had the opportunity of revisiting a question that I have struggled to find answers to for many years.
