		<description>Hi and glad you are back.  

The Black Book of Psychiatry  -  That sounds like a must-read book.  
I&#039;ve never heard the 3 great world religions described as death cults before but it takes just a second of thought to understand how perceptive that comment is - they are based upon living your life in a way that will determine what happens to you when you die.  

Your list of up-coming topics has me very enthused  and eager to learn more.

  -   Graham.

PS  a while ago you posted something on Milton Ericksen and in particular this: 
 
“You don’t consider yourself a therapist, but you are a therapist.” And I said, “Well, not really.” He said, “Well, let’s pretend . . . that you’re a therapist who works with people. The most important thing . . . when you’re pretending this . . . is to understand. . . that you are really not . . . You are just pretending . . . And if you pretend really well, the people that you work with will pretend to make changes. And they will forget that they are pretending . . . for the rest of their lives. But don’t you be fooled by it.” And then he looked at me and he said: “Goodbye.” 

Ever since I read that, something has been different - I feel much more at ease with myself.</description>
