Vester Flanagan, the gunman who killed two journalists in Virginia, was told by his bosses to go to his EAP after colleagues at the television station where he worked repeatedly complained about him. "This is a mandatory referral requiring your compliance," his then supervisor, Dan Dennison told Flanagan on 30 July 2012. "Failure to comply will result in termination of employment."

Alcoholism is at a near epidemic rate in the United States. Recent statistics from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reveal that 16.6 million adults ages 18 and older have an alcohol use disorder, including 10.8 million men and 5.8 million women. It is inevitable that employees suffering from alcoholism will have performance and attendance issues, potentially implicating the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and related state laws. Precisely which employees are protected and what employers need to do to address alcoholism in the workplace can be complicated.

Each year for the past five years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to attend the World EAP Conference, which is held in a different city in the U.S. each fall. Employee assistance professionals from roughly 40 different countries are in attendance. So even though I have never traveled abroad, I've still met people from all over the globe! I find the whole conference experience a very refreshing, invigorating change of pace from plunking away at my computer all day, sending emails, and (sometimes) talking over the phone, which helps some, but it still isn't the same as being in person.
It is fascinating to me that in a day and age in which we are more connected than ever, it seems as though we are also more disconnected than ever, too!

Violent video game play is linked to increased aggression in players but insufficient evidence exists about whether the link extends to criminal violence or delinquency, according to a new American Psychological Association task force report.
"The research demonstrates a consistent relation between violent video game use and increases in aggressive behavior, aggressive cognitions and aggressive affect, and decreases in prosocial behavior, empathy and sensitivity to aggression," says the report of the APA Task Force on Violent Media.

Genetic changes stemming from the trauma suffered by Holocaust survivors are capable of being passed on to their children, the clearest sign yet that one person's life experience can affect subsequent generations.
The conclusion from a research team at New York's Mount Sinai hospital led by Rachel Yehuda stems from the genetic study of 32 Jewish men and women who had either been interned in a Nazi concentration camp, witnessed or experienced torture or who had had to hide during the second world war.

In a meta-analysis recently published in European Neuropsychopharmacology, researchers from the University of Oxford and Harvard Medical School concluded that a drug called modafinil, which is typically used to treat sleep disorders, is a cognitive enhancer.
