A Shadow Play: Considering the Effects of Walls on Mental Health
Within every brick found in every wall around the world, there is an autocratic assurance of peace. Each brick is a word in a statement that proudly proclaims, “You are now safe.” When the light of the day shines on each and every wall in the world, shadows are cast which no one can escape. In this darkness, we forget what it means to be human. Empathy is abandoned. The concept of “We” is divided into “Us” and the “Other.” This is the truth that lies in the shadows of each of the nearly 70 walls that reinforce the borders of many countries around the world.

In a bustling museum echoing with chatter, multitudes of people gather around the wonder that Charles Darwin, father of evolution, witnessed with his very own eyes – the Galápagos tortoise, an animal that would ultimately revolutionize the world-view of life itself.

Dr. Walker will be presenting "The Biopsychosocial Model of Treating Chronic Pain: Opioids Seldom Work" at the American Counseling Association 2020 Conference & Expo in San Diego, CA next spring. The Conference dates are April 16-19, 2020.
In April 2019, Dr. Walker and Ms. Sizemore published an article, “Effort Testing in Forensic Vocational Assessment,” in The Rehabilitation Professional, Vol. 27, Issue 1, p 49-54.
First published nearly 26 years ago, Dr. Walker's article, “The Difference Between Impairment & Disability: A distinction worth making," remains a topic of strong interest in the scientific community. With over 1,000 reads on ResearchGate, the article, clearly the seminal discussion regarding the distinction between impairment and disability within the workplace, remains noteworthy.
