Okay, I just asked the question :
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ah6HDfqQKHHSQEJVl7PZGBQjzKIX?qid=20070501120451AAuXUis
… and it seems that my beautiful wife and I have a few sexual problems. Basically, her sex drive is nothing, and mine might be overly high.
I want to find a marriage / sex counselor for us, but since we are very religious, I don’t want to go to someone that’s going to tell us to watch porn or have extramarital affairs or other thing I have heard used as counseling techniques.
Is there such a thing as a …. “faith based”… sex counselor, or someone that will respect that there are certain sexual boundaries we will not cross, but still need help achieving what we are looking for? Or, is every modern sex therapist based in therapeutic techniques that I will not appreciate?
How do I find these types of therapists?
Have you ever been to a sex therapist?
How did it work for you?
I question the value of the therapist. If your wife has a low sex drive, and you have a high sex drive, what are you looking for at a therapist’s office? A magic pill for one of you to take? It doesn’t exist. Nothing is going to change unless you get your heads out of a bible…the answer is certainly not there. Nothing is going to happen unless you can discuss, openly and without fear of embarrassment, your needs, your fantasies (yes, religious folk are allow fantasy, regardles of where it leads) and can find out IF she is just turned off by what you do over and over. IF you are not open to finding fun things to do…yes, even religious folks can have fun with sex…then nothing is going to happen that is positive. IF a therapist is to be of any value, you both have to feel that you can speak your innermost feelings without fear of recrimination…and from what I have read above, I don’t think your wife is going to feel that way, considering your stance on religion. Good luck.

This is a wonderful question, and I am way too ignorant to answer it. I love it though. I love the idea of using K-Pax as a study of this nature. It was a great movie, and does give the viewer lots of interesting theories to explore. E-mail me with your own theories and ideas. I’d love to hear them.
1. describe specific symptoms and/or behaviors that indicate Prot is suffering a mental disorder
2. describe the therapeutic approaches being used by the psychologist to treat Prot.
3. what seem to be the most effective therapeutic techniques?
That’s my favorite movie!!!
1. You could indicate Prot is suffering from a mental disorder because of his perception of reality like zac said already. Because Prot can present new facts that don’t fit into what Earth society believes he is considered mentally unstable. Whether he actually is unstable is up to the viewer of the movie to decide, personally I believe Prot is from K-Pax because he provided suffucient evidence to persuade me such as talking to the dog, knowing the star system hardly anyone knew about, vanishing from the hospital, taking Beth the second time he left when he had to go back to K-Pax, etc. However you could make the argument he was mentally unstable and those were just coincidences.
2.Some of the therapeutic approaches used to treat Prot would be:
-Hypnosis/regression – He had Prot go back in time to when he was younger and first met Robert Porter and then again to the night when he tried to drown himself.
-I forgot the word for it but it is when something you do something and it triggers a rush of memories to come back to you – he did this unintentionally when the sprinkler was turned on at his house and Prot has the Robert Porter drowning memory come back to him, he breaks down and starts crying and trying to protect the little girl.
-He tries sit down sessions with him on a routine basis, you should remember this from the movie, he even tries to play into Prot’s "alter-ego" by dimming the lights and asking him if it reminds him of K-Pax. He tries this again when he brings him to the astronomy lab and has the astronomer’s ask him questions about his galaxy.
3.Hard to say since none of the treatments actually "cured" him since he seems to actually be an alien and is able to at every turn come out on top when he goes head to head with the Doctor. You could say the hypnosis/regression had the most effect since the doctor learned about Robert Porter and that something terrible happened in his past(actually Robert’s past) but he still had to go to Arizona to learn more about what actually happened. Even once he learns about what actually happened and confronts Prot with the yearbook with Robert Porter’s picture Prot denies that it is him but says "Now that you found Robert, take care of him" which in my opinion indicates Prot is actually an alien and took over Robert Porter who was his friend from Earth and now that Robert is in the Dr.’s hands he will be safe when Prot goes back to K-Pax.
Hope this helped, but I’m curious do you think Prot was an alien or he was mentally unstable?

Iodine 131 over 53(i) is used in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in the treatment of thyroid disorders. This isotope has a half-life of 8.04 days. What percentage of an initial sample of remains after 36.5 days?
_______%
After 8.04 days 1/2 of it remains
after 16.8 days 1/4 remains
after 24.84 days 1/8 remains
and so on….
How do you figure how much remains after 36.5 days?
the fraction remaining will be given by
A/Ao = e^(-0.693t/T)
where
Ao = the original amount
T = the half life
t = the time
A = the amount left after time t
e = the exponential function
For this problem
A/Ao = e^(-0.693*36.5/8.04) = 0.043020347
A = 4.3 % of Ao
