Exploration of Factors that Influence the use of Psychological Testing in the Treatment and Evaluation of Children: Development of a Clinical Decision-Making Model
… testing in practice, there is limited scientific data linking these same benefits to the assessment process. One explanation for this is that studying psychological assessments is a challenging task, given the complexities of the process. Subsequently, many have described conducting psychological …

The gut microbiota in depression
The accruing data linking the gut microbiota to the development and function of the central nervous system has been proposed as a paradigm shift in neuroscience. Neuroimmune, neuroendocrine and neural communication pathways exist between host and microbe. These pathways are components of the …
