Bob, members (future members that is, as of this moment I guess it's just Bob and me!): The question in the subject of this e-mail is a central question for...
Greetings, I've put a recent article re fw and counseling in the files section. I found it using Questia, but haven't yet read it. It will be important to be...
Ken, Here's the message I tried to send last week but couldn't because of ongoing computer problems (now hopefully resolved). Thanks so much for getting the...
As Tom has observed, too many therapists (one is too many) blame the client for lack of progress. Perhaps it is seen as an alternative to having the ...
Bob, Thanks, here are some thoughts re group goals. I spoke to Paul Breer today, and we touched on the obvious fact that there's a continuum of functioning,...
Tom, In reply to your post: "Those are the unhappy folks seeking one-on- one therapy qua therapy, and many might not be ready to tackle directly the illusion...
Tom, Bob: I didn't notice that things had started to happen here until just now. Hopefully it will help for me to make a full disclosure of my particular...
... I agree that the fellowship groups aren't therapy, and really nothing I've said which relates to therapy could be applied to the fellowship groups. Tom's ...
Hi y'all, Welcome to you new members, and thanks for joining. This is pretty exciting that we're getting together on some concrete action for furthering...
Bob, Tom: Saying our illusion of free will is hard-wired is, in my opinion, a lot like saying our concept of love is hard-wired. There are certainly some ...
Just a follow-up to my last post: I'm not really expecting to make converts of any of you, and don't want to impede progress on the mission of this committee...
... but ... realization ... therapeutic ... focus on ... enhance ... for ... opinion. ... Bob, I vote with you on this. The mission of this group should be ...
Bob and Tom: Please pardon the tone of my post, it wasn't really what I wanted, a bit too tinny or brassy, to use recording studio terminology. And thanks for...
The cognitive approach to therapy is based on the idea that ones' beliefs o= r assumptions affect one's emotions, behavior and quality of life, and a chan= ge...
I don't know what causes those weird line breaks in my last post, something about typing on a Mac? They're not always there, but often. Any ideas? Ken...
How about writing the article/paper on how the naturalistic NFW worldview influences the cognitive model? Neither Bob nor I are strict cognitive therapists,...
Ken, Re your idea for a paper: I think it would be difficult to come up with a topic that would better tie naturalism and therapy together, and my vote is ...
Ken, I get two copies of each of your postings. One is formatted in Plain Text, the other in HTML. The Plain Text version appears to have the line breaks,...
Hi: I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out what we're aiming for here, where I'd like to see this go. I'm interested in seeing whether we can come up with a...
Ken, What type of audience and publication are you thinking of? Are you thinking now of a paper written for a lay audience rather than a professional audience?...
Bob: Good question, and I suppose you answered it: I also would like to reach a consensus, so the ultimate answer also depends on you and others. I'm voting...
Here's a sample of the kind of piece, or the introduction to a piece, I'd like to produce. It's not finished, I'm sending it to show the tone I'm going for. If...
Here's a little rant/rave which maybe helps to clarify the relative importance of this to other issues we face. I think neurosis is number one. Stated...
Ken, Thanks for keeping the ball rolling. I just got back from vacation and returned to significantly more demands than expected, so haven't had a chance to...
No hurry, Bob. To continue my medical analogy here's a short piece I'm in the process of writing concering treatment. It's a continuation of the medicine/ ...
Does this make sense? There are two kinds of responsibility, to others and to onesself. The first is learned adherence to social rules, the second is innate...
Herb: I think all behavior, innate or learned, is selfish. It's hard to imagine animals engaging in any behavior not resulting from strictly internal needs. I...
