Oh, come on now. People who struggle to find empathy and compassion for others in a situation like this are without a doubt suffering deeply inside. Whatever label you want to put on it, depression, antisocial PD, etc., it's suffering.

Or perhaps Shepard Smith and others who made disrespectful remarks about Williams are also suffering from depression, as evidenced in their struggle to find empathy and compassion? Perhaps what happened with Williams hit a little too close to home for them, and they lashed out rather than recognizing their own deep…

You have a very ironic user name.

Yeah, that's not an ok response whatsoever. I'm not suggesting that it is, though.

No, she said pretty clearly if you hit anyone, man or woman, you might get hit back. So don't hit someone in the first place.

hahahahahahahhaahahaaaa

You read all of my citations in 2 minutes? Impressive! Fortunately, I don't care about convincing you. I'm not spouting a theory or something that is even up for debate. We have the neurobiological support to know this to be true. You can not believe it all you want, go for it. I fully support your disbelief.

Actually, my citations do "go" to sources of empirically supported evidence. And within them is the neurobiological information that explains why the studies you listed created the results they did. If you would like to read my second reply to lindaaargh, I summed it up there.

Well, to start, none of the books I listed are about attachment parenting. So you're shooting yourself (and your argument) in the foot there. There is one book I listed (Becoming Attached) that explores how early attachment relationships between parent and child shape later adult relationships. That particular text…

Yes, there is powerful empirical evidence that the "cry out" method has lasting effects. Some of these are tough reads, but here are some references:
