Hey, Brad--you sound like a jerk.

> Major Distinguished Clinical Professor, Alvin Mahrer, one of this year's
> recipients of the Distinguished Psychologist Award,
> after Reading Parts 1 - 3 of my major paper at:
> http://www.future.net/~bradj/it.html SAID (quoting him in part):
>
> "Good for you! I like what you are arguing,
> and what you are working toward achieving makes good sense, I think. ...
> On to more of your good thinking..."
>
> After reading the end of Part 3 through Part 5, Prof. Mahrer said, in part:
>
> "   I am impressed with your comprehensive and tough criticisms of therapists
> and their training. Excellent work.
>    My book (the best of ll) can feed and support your critical notions."
>
> After reading Part 6, this Distinguished Clinical professor said (in part):
>
> "I am reading chapters in O'donohue and Kitchener's Philosophy and
> Psychology. Some of the chapters on ethical codes are hand-in-glove with
> what you write.
>    Publish your stuff!...
>    Most of the issues you cover are (a) very important, but (b) not in my
> experiential approach."
>
> After reading the Addendum to part 6, Prof. Alvin Mahrer says:
> (again,quoting part of what he said):
>
> "   Your criticisms and analyses of this batch of material reads as if it
> ought to be in an APA Psychologist article. Why not? Do it!
>    I agree with all your solid points.
>    Again, I do research to discover more about how to do psychotherapy
> better."
>
> Other comments made to me in correspondence were:
>
> "   This is a free nag to publish your good paper!"  and
>
> "My book is, The Complete Guide To Experiential Psychotherapy. It is l996,
> John Wiley and Sons, New York.
>    Please get it. It fuels some of your arguments." (end quotes)
>
>
> It is time for the field of counseling and psychotherapy to WAKE UP !!!
>
>     Come see my web site, where I outline major problems in the
> psychotherapy field AND provide solutions to these problems.  The paper at
> the web site has been read and praised by:  Allen Ivey, Paul Meehl,
> Carroll Izard, and Paul Barrett (all major professors and clinicians and
> researchers).  It has
> also been submitted by APA 1999 President-elect Richard Suinn to Dr.
> Fowler, head of the APA's science directorate.  He is taking the matters
> very seriously. THE APA has dealt with some of these issues at this year's
> convention.   My paper has also been provided to 100 heads of the top
> clinical psychology departments and is under discussion by some of those
> departments.  The web address for my major paper is:
