dr. keith ablow. there was actually a study done by this. >> good morning. believe it or not, there was a study done, years of research by a psychologist and over 1,000 coffee drinkers surveyed. there's data flowing in, so to speak. >> tell us a little bit about -- >> or dripping in. >> tell us about the personality types. folks who take black coffee, they like it plain and simple. what do we know about that? >> supposedly these people tend to be efficient people. they can be a little bit controlling because they're simple. when you think about it, when you think about somebody ordering black coffee, they often say it like this: just black. they don't tend to be the soft-spoken types. that's because they're clean-cut to some extent. >> what about those -- you get in line at starbucks or whatever and you've got somebody ordering a soy choy latte with cinnamon and whatever. i'm sure it tastes great but those people are a little bit annoying. what do you know about them? >> first of all, they are specific orderers -- by the way, i'm told you use one and a half

dr. keith ablow on why we were targeted and how it should affect the psyche of the american people. . ablow is with us on the a-team now. i loved your piece and loved it for a lot of reasons, but i want to start with, you sort of identify the problem, the psychological problem in the wake of yesterday, saying nothing will be quite the same in boston or america after this terrorist ÷attack. >> exactly. because, megyn, this isn't an event that required the ca commandeering of large planes, it didn't take time buildings. it took place on a sunny day during a sporting event and could have been any day in any city. and because of that, the average american who places themselves in similar situations is heightened. >> you say we're no more vulnerable today than yesterday, but we will feel more vulnerable and i'm sure a lot of ours viewers are wrestling with that right now. >> yes. and you know, i understand that because number one, this is a fresh event and we're fresh to have it. other cultures like israel, ireland, have coped with violence on the streets and learned to make that part of

dr. keith ablow is a psychiatrist and member of the fax news medical a-team.ut it out there, doc, saying, here is the truth about sports of all kinds. they don't matter to the world at all, not one bit, not an iota. why do you say that? >> look, the blogs up at foxnews.com in opinion and why i say that is this, megyn, we've gone too far overboard. if mike rice was a math teacher with incredibly gifted math students, and saw him hitting them. throwing things at him, yelling slurs at them. and he'd been sued, fired, and would be gone. we're so obsessed this sports culture our passions, we give them to the teams that we can't see fact for fiction anymore. m manti te'o, we believe he's in love with a woman and he's on the gridiron. >> megyn: we're not supposed to be learning, teamwork, leadership dedication in math. supposed to learning math, math logical reasoning and figuring out problems. on the sports field we are supposed to be learning those extra things. there are roles for sports in the eyes of many parents and kids, different aspects of character. >> i ab

dr. keith ablow. it is so important. thanks very much for being with us. see you soon. >> martha, thank you so much. take care. martha: all right. gregg: one group of very kind-hearted volunteers providing new hope for victims of superstorm sandy. molly line is live in boston. molly? >> reporter: hey, gregg. well burlington, very month is a long way from the jersey shore and a long way from new york. when joan saw the storm-ravaged victims of superstorm sandy and the struggle gls to care for their pets, she knew she had to get involved. >> no, sit. >> i thought there was probably a need for temporary shelter for the dogs, to help the pet owners, which is a little bit different than typical dog rescue. typical dog rescue is all about helping the dogs. >> reporter: shannon founded sandy dog nannies an organization that fosters dogs. her efforts couldn't come at better time for debbie blair. like so many, she lost almost everything in the storm. >> there is such a peace of mind, you know that i have, i know my dog is safe and being well-taken care of. and the

dr. keith ablow joins us, and truth and-- >> you try to.art: you know what happened and i'm saying this this is -- this represents the decline of trust, not just in social media, but in wall street as well. and i know you're going to agree with me. >> well, yes and listen, i'd he be loathe to put america on the couch and say, you're being paranoid. no, you're being realistic because you can't trust a system that seems to be a liability upon a lie. i'm not sure the markets aren't cut free anyhow from reality. you see the markets surging despite bad data regarding printing money and the rest. >> you're saying that social media does not deal in objective truth. >> correct. so what you're saying, basically you saw a lie taint the market for a short time and then it rebounded. that could be reassuring to people, but what you really see and the reason that people are going to be dismayed by this and saying, well, i don't know if i can trust anything is how easy it is for fibs and fiction to invade the market. that's the headline here. the market

dr. keith ablow every week. joining me now to answer your e mails, psychiatrist dr. keith ablow. a little bit. >> we should share it. >> gretchen: my wife and i love to travel, but she refuses to go anywhere i may have once traveled with an ex-girlfriend. even though we've been together for years. is this normal? >> no. gretchen, listen, it's not normal. it's crazy. any healthy american man would be given a long dating history would be crossing off multiple cities. where are you going to go? plus really what this is about, although it feels a little warm, is control. so you worry, what else is she going to want to control in my life? >> gretchen: well, i just think that it harbors old memories. i can understand why the wife would be a little sensitive about that. >> about the whole city? i don't know. listen, so you're going to not go where? paris, not go france, not go -- >> gretchen: you're at the top of the eiffel tower and remembering the past girlfriend. [ laughter ] >> i know, but such vulnerability expressed this way. and really, so little confidence in the love. that's th

dr. keith ablow. thank you for coming on the show tonight. >> thank you for having me speak on these numbers are worse than last year. what's going on? >> i think what is going on is the increasing degree to which people are running their lives while running their work lives. so that multitasking is rampant in the workplace. there is no downtown from your social life. there is no downtime from your work life. burning the candle at four and is taking a toll. gerri: you're absolutely right. with blackberry and ipad, is it possible to turn off? should people be more disciplined about not -- without having a day when they are not on these electronic devices? >> it would be so important and so healing if people were to do that. but we are addicted to these things. folks take these things to the restroom with them. they go back to their desks to get a blackberry or an iphone, even if they are going to the washroom. that is one problem. the second thing is when you are at work, there is downsizing going on.

dr. keith ablow is a member of our fox news medical a-team.big ole study was done over seas on thousands of children to see how media, how digital media, everything from your iphone to television, to video games, how they're all affecting our kids and the short answer is tv videos, dvd's et cetera for a few hours a day, they conclude that these lead to conduct problems, emotional symptoms and relationship problems by the time your kid is seven. >> and no surprise, megyn, because these substitutes for human contact don't reproduce human contact. you know, over 90% of human communication is said to be nonverbal. it's a turn of phrase or a look, a glance. if you are disconnected from that, how are you to then proceed into relationships in a robust, honest, em pathetic way? you're not, you're use today dealing with machines. >> megyn: and a mother and sister were trying to have dinner at the restaurant and gave the 4-year-old and 7-year-old an iphone or ipad to entertain themselves toe the two people could have a conversation over dinner and i'm s

dr. keith ablow is here to answer your e-mails. you for joining us this morning. >> it's a pleasure. >> nice seeing you. >> the first question comes from a husband. it's about his wife. he says is my wife nuts. she sometimes uses multiple plates when eating because she cannot have any of her food touching. i have heard about kids doing this. i don't want my green beans to touch my mash potatoes. >> when it is your wife and she is grabbing separate plates to prevent this from happening it's a little crazy a little nuts and a little bit on the obsessive come compulsive disorder. what else does she fear is contaminated if she gets too close to it in terms of her own boundaries. that's the question. make sure that's not invading other parts of the relationship. a little therapy can help. a little melting ice cream touching a cookie can help. or eat a sandwich. >> coming up next, i am a hand washing fanatic. it began 28 years ago when my daughter was born and now i am 58 and my hands are a nightmare with dryness, cracking especially in

dr. keith ablow, medical "a" team and bronwyn, the author of the book "accelerated." n tests. now we learned from this study in taiwan that there is a gene in these kids' brains that make these high stress testing situations tougher for them than for other kids. does this change the way we're supposed to test students? >> we hope not. we know if we look for every gene comprising the human genome, we'll find variations. those who say "don't test kids anymore" because there are people genetically predisposed to do less well in the circumstances are the people who said don't have football games anymore. you got to start some people ten yards in front of the other people. because their legs are genetically not as strong, not as muscular. we already have systems in place if you have a dig knowsed disorder you can take tests untimed, you can get extra help. but the notion that we should simply throw up our hands a say well, people are different and why test anybody? that is just defeatist. our cools frankly are horrible -- our schools frankly are horrible. we better test kid

dr. keith ablow, he is a psychiatrist and doctor, good morning to you. >> hey, bill.ook at this, and shake your head and so much of this is past due, it is over time. what do you think about the way she responded? >> well, first of all, if you believe someone as a psychiatrist, if you believe someone is homicidal, you don't just have a duty to call some campus police outfit. you have a duty to hospitalize that person. take him off the streets. that could have prevented this tragedy, and i guess for all those folks who think that banning weapons is the answer, here's the answer. she knew. his psychiatrist knew. didn't do the right thing apparently. neither did the campus police and the tragedy could have been prevented. bill: so she went to authorities. that is what she required to do. she followed the letter of the law to that point. >> no. bill: i'm finding that campus police did nothing! we now, hang on one second, we now know that campus police say they had no contact at any point with holmes. why not? >> well the campus police, what their responsibility is about s

dr. keith ablow, who's going to join us most likely tomorrow, wrote an amazing piece this morning that everybodyree? >> well, you know, this is obviously a very complicated issue. the fact is that only 4% of homicides are committed by people with mental illness. what we immediate to be looking at are specifically the dangerously mentally ill, those with disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar. if you look at these shootings, what they all have in common were they were all committed by sort of this paranoid loner type who had an axe to grind with society. and this had been going on for a while. we need people to be more aware of this and act before it's too late. martha: so how do you do that, chuck? do you develop a database that a psychologist or a psychiatrist who's licensed can say i recommend this person not be allowed to purchase a gun? is that what you do? >> no. i think picking up on what the doctor said is that what we need to be able to do is identify these people earlier and intervene, get them into treatment. and i think one of the issues that dr. ablow raised was that there is insuf
