Overdiagnosis and overkill. This article, like a few others being recommended, isn’t from a scientific journal, but instead comes from a very interesting article in the magazine The New Yorker, in which Dr Atul Gawande discusses his experiences related to overdiagnosis and over-treatment. It’s an eye opener. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/05/11/overkill-atul-gawande

Multimodal therapy. Lazarus has prepared a primer on MMT which is exceptionally interesting. It’s fairly lengthy, but for those with a clinical interest it is absorbing. http://www.zurinstitute.com/multimodaltherapy.html
