An Irish Tragedy: How Sex Abuse by Irish Priests Helped Cripple the Catholic Church
The story of how Irish immigrants helped to build the American Catholic Church is well-known But the sad tale of how Irish priests later undermined the Church has gone untold, until now. Investigative reporter Joe Rigert's search for the roots of the Catholic sex-abuse scandals led him to Ireland, where he found that rigid sexual repression in both society and the priesthood has had the opposite of its intended effect, fostering bizarre and criminal sexual expression. Though a tiny country, Ireland has been a chief exporter of abusers to America, making the Catholic Church's darkest crisis a true Irish tragedy.

He served as president of the international organization Investigative Reporters & Editors..

Eleven Blunders that Cripple Psychotherapy in America: A Remedial Unblundering
What was and continues to be the reason for the decline and continuing descent of clinical psychology? The authors posit that the profession blundered and has not adapted to the profound changes that have taken place in American society over the past 40 years. Psychotheraphy practices is based on a 50 minute hour, yet mental health treatment must operate at a much briefer, more efficient pace. Clinicians ignore the findings of scientific research for effective treatments and favor the overblown pronouncemnets of gurus who preach without substance. Clinicians failed to adapt their practices to the needs of the healthcare industry and do not recognize that psychotherapy is a health profession. An anti-business bias has contributed to training programs that ignore the economic realities of running a practice. The failure to seccure prescriptions privileges, the invention of diagnoses, and political correctness are among the other blunders that pull the profession away from its primary mission-mental health treatment-and contribute to the low esteem in which psychologists are held. The authors enumerate and discuss the Eleven Blunders that Cripple Psychotherapy in America and offer remedies to correct the ongoing decline of the field..
