Bob,

Sounds good, but I think we should first proceed with the more
general paper as outlined by Ken (see posts 87 and 96). This way
we'll get everyone's ideas about how naturalism works in therapy,
and it will have broader application since we'll present techniques
appropriate for patients who may or may not be totally on board
about naturalism. But I like the pedagogical point you have
in mind with this other paper.

scenarios in which this type of patient's self/world view would
present challenges to certain common therapeutic assumptions and
interventions, and how therapists of various schools could deal with
these challenges. In the course of this, we could illuminate
advantages of the naturalistic approach for patient and therapist
alike.
