My guess is that once you listen to this podcast, you’ll be able to think of other trends that occur in physical health that have parallels in behavioral health and vice versa. Whether we seek to fulfill our animals’ physical or behavioral needs, we always need to beware of the Iago Effect. Never heard of this? That’s understandable because I just made it up. 🙂
Iago was a character immortalized by Shakespeare in Othello. He was a man who wanted to be remembered, not for loving unwisely but for loving too well. Poetic as that may be, it didn’t change the fact that the result of his loving Desdemona too well left her deader than a doornail…
which I suspect she would have considered unwise love had she lived to think about it.
