Beginning therapists are understandably anxious and not sure they’ll know how to proceed. (“How do you get Iall of them/Ito come in?”) Veterans often speak in abstractions. They have opinions and discuss big issues—postmodernism, narrative reconstructionism, second-order cybernetics. While it’s tempting to use this space to say Important Things, I prefer to be a little more personal. Treating troubled families has given me the greatest satisfaction imaginable, and I hope that the same is or will be true for you."/P P style="MARGIN: 0px" - Michael P.
