History of Mental Illness Treatment: An Infographic

I receive a daily infographic from http://dailyinfographic.com/. Some offerings I skip over since the content is outside my interests. Yesterday, however, I found this little beauty entitled, Electroshock Therapy and Other Ways We Treat Mental Illness [infographic]."It includes trepanning, phrenology, repression, asylums, lobotomies, bloodletting and more.

I will definitely be using this graphic as an intro and context setting for when I teach disorders and treatment next. There is excellent overview with details that can be filled in by the researcher or the experienced psych teacher. It does get larger with re-sizing your browser settings.

A Headache Infographic

It seems that every semester, students assume that since I know about the mind and brain, I also know about headaches.  I do--I have a great poster I pull out and share.  But today I ran across this infographic that was pretty cool.  The Mount Sinai Hospital put this together back in 2011, but it contains some great info.  Enjoy.

Celebrities and Personality Types

More Infographics--what can I say?  I get these emails and many connect to psych.  Here is one that uses the Myers-Briggs Jungian personality types (16 of them), and matches them up with various famous people.  As I've mentioned before, I am very wary of the MBTI and its validity, but this could be used for a fun activity.
