Psychological Safety and the Only Pyramid Scheme That Works

Psychological Safety and the Only Pyramid Scheme That Works."

The paper, "Cognitive Psychology of Risk, Anxiety, and Depression," came from a group of psychologists at Baylor State University called Psychopathic Behavior and Treatment Research, who developed the book "The Pyramid Scheme: How the Great Psychopaths Can Use it to Decide for Their Own Fates."

The paper's authors claim that the new book is critical for understanding the human psyche and for guiding its practitioners, making them better able to handle difficult dilemmas. "What might help guide and guide how we manage our mental health needs right now or in the future is self-awareness," said Dr. James B. O'Callaghan, a psychotherapist at Baylor State University's Child Development Center.

The paper was published last fall in Public Opinion Quarterly.

"I think it's a really interesting book that gives us insight and makes us more prepared to deal with complex, difficult psychological difficulties," said Dr. Susan S. Smith, author of "The Pyramid Scheme: How the Great Psychopaths Can Use It to Decide for Their Own Fates," the book whose title reads, "Psychopathic Behavior and the Only Pyramid Scheme is a comprehensive guide to the psychological problems that we face in the wake of mass suicide."

The authors write that there is currently more than one billion people worldwide who do not have a diagnosis of a mental health crisis. That's nearly four times the number of people who take suicide-resisting medication and about seven times the number of people who have suicidal intentions in their entire lives.

The authors attribute much of their success to the success of the psychologists working in the literature on this topic.

"It's very easy to believe that one good psychologist will teach people how to self-regulate their emotions, but there is very little scientific proof yet to support that hypothesis," said Smith.

Dr. Bowers also points out, however, that the authors of the book used the phrase "the only pyramid" when referring to an understanding of human psychology.

"What can you really call that and do?" asked O'Callaghan. "It is really hard as you have to ask some questions to get it right. It really is the only pyramid; maybe the only reason we can come up with that is because we want to explain mental health to people from a psychological point of view."

Dr. Bowers says that self-awareness can be particularly helpful when it comes to those who feel they're struggling with a deep problem.

"A lot of people really don't think of self-awareness as an issue. The idea is to do a sort of self-reinforcing exercise or self-disagreement practice in the name of happiness and happiness is good for people who are suffering. But when they look inward, they can see their problem and they take that as a reason to seek help and to do something for themselves," said Dr. Bowers.
