It is impossible to imagine oneself confined to a chair 24/7 for a week, let alone ten years! Over the five years that we have known each other, I have been privy to Chaim K's indomitable spirit and the highs and lows of his mood. The Jewish Press has given Chaim K. a platform from which to share his feelings and outlook on life. A column titled "The Ever-Ready Battery" (The Jewish Press, April 8 2010) expresses Chaim K's ennui/exhaustion with his status quo. "Just" living was so draining. Read Article 2) Posted Jul 07 2010 'I Am My Brother's Keeper' *By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Jeff C. © 2010** This is not our first appointment - he has been here before. We are writing this together, Jeff (not his real name) and I. He was referred to me with a possible neuropsychological problem which keeps him from actualizing his full potential. Some of what has been said about him: "He's a wonderful child"; "He can't get along with authority"; "He's well meaning with a heart of gold"; "He's chutzpadik to his parents and teachers"; "He's self destructive"; "Oppositional Defiant Disorder, but not exactly." Read Article 3) Posted May 26 2010 Being Too Frightened To Stop Running: Another Case From The Neuropsychologists Journal* By Dr. Judith Guedalia What is going on neuropsychologically or in other words, with your brain/behavior relationship? Read Article 4) Posted Apr 08 2010 Ever-Ready Battery By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Chaim K. © 2010 There is an advertisement for Eveready© batteries in which a group of battery-driven toy bunnies jump around until there is only one left standing - the one powered by Eveready© batteries. Chaim K.'s life since he was run-over by a car, nine years ago (Yes, this past Ta'anit Esther it was nine years!), has been fraught with uphill battles that most armies could not, and would not have fought. Fully paralyzed except for his face (he is a quadriplegic on a respirator), Chaim has sat in his motorized wheelchair and watched the world move on. Painfully he relates that he has siblings who don't remember when he was an "upstanding" and fully functional teen and young adult. Read Article 5) Posted Mar 17 2010 Reunion By Dr. Judith Guedalia I would be lying if I said I was not excited/nervous/curious/anxious/happy/worried. I was all of these things from the moment I was told about our elementary school's 50th reunion. These are pretty much universal emotions that come to play before annual family reunions or major get-togethers - like weddings and holidays - Pesach for example. There is so much history, so many expectations and old habits or rituals and joyful or annoying memories. And let's not forget, haunting family pathology! Read Article 6) Posted Feb 24 2010 I've Got To Hand It To You": Pre-Operative Intervention from a Neuropsychologist's Journal By Dr. Judith Guedalia © 2009 A recent article in the Journal of Medical Genetics brought Leah (not her real name) to mind. Though it was almost eight years ago, I remember it as if it were yesterday. Read Article 7) Posted Dec 30 2009 Nursing a Grudge By Dr. Judith Guedalia © 2009 Nefesh International is now celebrating its bar mitzvah. Begun, 13 years ago in someon's living room, its 13th annual conference will be held December 31st-January 3rd, 2010, at The Hyatt Regency Long Island, Hauppauge, N.Y. Thirteen years of bringing Orthodox Mental Health Professionals together to learn with each other and from one another. Read Article 8) Posted Dec 02 2009 The Case of the Soldier Who Couldn't Whisper* By Dr. Judith Guedalia They were afraid, afraid for him and afraid for themselves. He, let's call him Lochesh (the Hebrew word for whisper) could not whisper. When they are out on dangerous missions, their faces painted in camouflage colors, their uniforms and helmets "adorned" with branches, their life is dependent on counting on each other. Having among them a soldier-in-arms who couldn't whisper was life threatening. Read Article 9) Posted Nov 04 2009 Setting Sail on the Sea of Life By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Chaim K.© 2009 Chaim K. rolls into the office with a very focused look this week. After close to three and a half years of almost weekly sessions we "read" each other quite well! Read Article 10) Posted Sep 30 2009 When Pigs Fly - Something Out of the Ordinary: Chaim K.'s Perspective on Days of Awe and the Swine Flu By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Chaim K. © 2009 The Days of Awe are upon us, a time of introspection and renewal. Time reviewed and time projected. When Chaim K. came into my office during the month of Elul, the same month that school reconvened, we began a new "semester" as well. To Chaim though, every day, hour, minute, second and nanosecond are the same. Since being hit by a car when he was 14-years-old, this now 23-year-old man, has been wheelchair bound, a quadriplegic on a respirator. Read Article 11) Posted Sep 16 2009 Depression And Help From Our Friends Shaul, King David, Iyov and others... By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Jenny S. © 2009 Overheard: · "I'm so depressed I gained five pounds over the last holiday!" · "The economic situation struck so hard, I'm down to cleaning help just once a week. I'm feeling really depressed." · "My so-called boyfriend has not called me in over a week, I'm really depressed." · "Recession is when your friend loses his job; Depression is when you lose yours." · "Did you see that woman shopping, it's not for me to say, but doesn't she look like she's in a depression?" Read Article 12) Posted Aug 26 2009 On Community Service: Kohanim And Cities Of Refuge By Dr. Judith Guedalia On a recent Shabbat my grandson commented on how quickly I walked "considering " - for the sake of his present and future birthday gifts from me, I felt sure he was referring to my height-challenged state; he being close to six feet tall and my standing at a mere 5 feet 2 inches (in shoes). Read Article 13) Posted Jul 22 2009 The Higher The Expectation The Bigger The Fall By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Chaim K. Chaim K. comes into the office and immediately begins to speak, as if our last meeting had never ended. Read Article 14) Posted Jun 24 2009 Od Avinu Chai - Revisiting Germany By Dr. Judith Guedalia © 2009 "Germany," she shouted, as if I could have heard her here in Jerusalem through the open window. "The line is awful tonight, I thought I heard you say you are going to Germany." I told her that she had heard correctly. Read Article 15) Posted Jun 03 2009 A Visit To "Angels On The Moon" By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Chaim K "Do you dream, that the world will know your name So tell me your name Do you care, about all the little things or anything at all? I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside I wanna feel I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive To know I'm alive" ("Angels on the Moon," Lyrics by Thriving Ivory) Read Article 16) Posted May 06 2009 Erev Taanit Esther 2009 - The Eighth 'Yahrzeit': Don't Judge Anyone By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Chaim K. © 2009 Chaim comes rolling into the office, and no sooner has he parked his motorized wheelchair he says: "Hevei Dan Et Kol Adam LeKaf Zechut - in the vernacular, 'give everyone the benefit of the doubt.' Look it up and see what you can find on it, I will look too." Read Article 17) Posted Mar 18 2009 Crowning Glory; The Gift - Not Just Learning About Chesed, But Doing It By Dr. Judith Guedalia I looked at her thinking of my grandmother, who used to refer to one's hair (especially girls') as "your crowning glory." There she stood before me, all of 14 years old, hair shorn in a kind of choppy very short ponytail (Kuku in modern Hebrew, and a Fringe in UK). Read Article 18) Posted Mar 04 2009 Yahrzeit on Erev Rosh Hodesh Adar: 5768 - When the 'Deer Hunter' Lost By Dr. Judith Guedalia © 2009 The Deer Hunter, is an anti-war movie about the loss of innocence as seen in three American friends - steel workers, who are soon off to fight in the Vietnam War of the 1960s. One of the most frightening and horrifically memorable scenes is when drunken enemy guards holding the three, play "Russian Roulette" with one of the friends. This is regarded as the ultimate gambling "game" (NOT TO BE ATTEMPTED!) is played by putting a single bullet in one of the chambers of a gun and spinning it, then pulling the trigger- not knowing if the chamber being fired contains the bullet will actually or if the chamber will be one of the empty ones. Read Article 19) Posted Jan 21 2009 Hang In There: Larvae, Pupae Metamorphose and Do Become Functioning Adults By Judith Guedalia, PhD "Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's form or structure through cell growth and differentiation. Read Article 20) Posted Dec 31 2008 Pyramid Of Needs And Then Some... By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Chaim K. © 2008 We have many needs. Sitting with Chaim K. as an annoying fly buzzes around, a need that is not on Maslow's iconic pyramid comes to mind. Read Article 96 Archived Articles Found in Judith Guedalia Next 20 Articles >
