See beyond the visible.



See what no one else sees. See what everyone else chooses not to see. See what everyone else fears to see. See the world anew each day.

My life is in evolution. I hope I never arrive - that would mean the journey has ended.

My work is in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy with a subspecialty in the Dependencies: both chemical and behavioral. I spent the 60's (rather passionately) at UC Berkeley. I collect (for those who remember them) LP phonograph records. I am interested in learning how and why people and things work the way they do.



"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosives and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men.

A man is walking along and falls into a hole. He calls for help. A priest comes by, hears his cries, writes him a prayer, tosses it down to him and goes on. Soon a doctor comes by, hears his cries, writes him a prescription, tosses it down to him and goes on. Soon after another man comes along, hears his cries, and jumps into the hole with him. “What the hell are you doing? “ the man in the hole says. “I’ve been in here before“ the other man replies, “and I know the way out.“
