SELF-HELP BOOKS
ON BORDERLINE
PERSONALITY
DISORDER
By Beth Green, Ph.D.
Just a few years ago, there were very
few self-help or popular press
resources available on the topic of
Borderline Personality Disorder
(BPD). If a psychologist wanted to
recommend a book on the disorder, the
brilliantly titled I Hate You--Don't
Leave Me [1] was the only work of its
type.
This groundbreaking book
contained excellent descriptions that
helped both people suffering from BPD
and those involved with them better
understand what they were dealing
with. The borderline spouse of a client
to whom I had recommended the book
even referred to it for a time as her
“Bible,” indicating, I believe, how
meaningful it was to see, in print,
descriptions of inner states that had
always baffled her. One limitation of
the book was that most of the case
examples in I Hate You-Don't Leave Me
featured people with severe symptoms
and numerous hospitalizations, making
it harder for higher-functioning persons
with BPD to relate.

RESEARCH CORNER
LOSS
Topic #1: Introduction and the
Scourge of Nonindependence
By Dale Glaser, Ph.D.
Introduction to
Research Corner:
Why?
From hereon in,
contingent on the
occasional excuse I can conveniently
manufacture, I will provide a monthly
“Research Corner” in the San Diego
Psychologist. I am well aware that
many of us, post-doctorate, breathe a
sigh of relief that terms such as “post
hoc testing”, “multicollinearity”, and
“sphericity” no longer pepper our daily
lexicon. However, it is my wholly
biased opinion that we have a
professional obligation to keep abreast
of the literature as it relates to the
specific area we work in. And that
entails being able to cast a critical eye at
the literature, especially as single
studies (without the benefit of metaanalysis or replication) tout the
“newest” intervention.
By Gina Taffi, Ph.D.,
When I have instructed statistics and
measurement courses for programs that
have a practitioner emphasis, more
than a few times I have been confronted
with comments of resignation such as:
“why do we have to take these required
courses?...I don't plan to use this in my
work”. My contention has been that
without the benefit of research (and
interpreting such), how do you know
that what you do is effective for your
patient type? Do you know how to
assess its efficacy? It is understandable
that for many practitioners they adopt a
certain orientation (e.g.,
psychodynamic, cognitive, etc.) and
thus base their practice on what they're
comfortable and adept at. However, in

People are always
trying to lose things.
Pounds, a bad haircut, a
“toxic” relationship, an unsatisfactory
golf swing…the list is virtually endless.
Then, there is the converse situation trying to find something: keys, one's
mind, a lost love, a passport, hope,
faith, the ability to trust (again)another seemingly infinite list.
I began thinking about loss when a
woman at my gym approached me
(knowing what my day job was) and
inquired as to what was “normal”
(dontcha just love that question?) with
regards to the amount of pain she was
experiencing as she grieved the ending
of a romantic relationship. Of course,
this is not the first time the topic had
traced it's footprints in my own mind;
for in life - I, too, have contended with
loss. What struck me was her parting
remark to me as I hurriedly made my
way to the door since I was late for an
appointment - she said, “I feel as though
I've lost a part of myself…as though I
don't know who I am anymore.” When
something is taken, the sensation and
consequent feelings are quite different
than voluntarily giving something up.
Most people want a vote in the
circumstances of their lives - how
things are going to turn out - but, so
much is out of our control, is it not?
And herein lies the rub. When I'm
trying to lose a few pounds, I've
consented to the process.
When
something I treasured and valued slips
through my fingers without me wanting
to let go…what a different process a

FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to another edition of the San Diego
Psychologist. Send us your contributions sooner
rather than later, as we work ahead several months at a
time, when planning issues. Thanks to our guest
columnist Steve Waldheim for his article on police
work and to our other writers who have extended
themselves to create this issue.

Members on the move
For years Steve Tess has been telling me how remote, his house is. I finally
saw it, and yes it is remote but Steve and Meg's place must be in one of the
most beautiful settings in San Diego County. Set high on a hill overlooking
valleys and mountains, the home has a resort like feel enhanced by the
warmth of the Tess family.
Nedra Lasley has legally changed her name back to Glasser, the name of
her first husband, who died in 1982. Kay DiFrancesca's son has bought a
sailboat, left Alaska for the summer, and he will be hitting the open water.
Austin Auger, the son of Nancy and Austin, is attending college in Hawaii.
Jon Nachison was selected as Mental Health Clinician of the Year by the
San Diego County Mental Health Association. The Mental Health
Recognition Dinner was held June 4th at the Doubletree Hotel. This is a well
deserved honor for a terrific person!
Steve Solomon was honored by the Hillel of San Diego on May 16. Steve
was credited with bringing new life to the organization. Vic and Patti
Frazao's daughter, Lissa, recently graduated from Fordham University in
New York City. Tom Habib, husband of Chris Baser, plays sandlot
basketball every Sunday against younger men. He still has the touch! Holly
Hunt and the Practice Mangement Committee are on fire! They are making
frequent contributions to the Newsletter and Enews!
Rob Brager, his wife, Elayne Berman, Michele LaRue, and Vicki
DiCicco all completed the Coronado Bridge run on May 23. Jane Reldan,
the wife of our late colleague, John McCarron, has returned to Telluride,
Colorado, after living in San Diego for the last nine months. Holly Hunt's
new book is coming out in the fall. Connie Ahrons and David Wexler
currently have new books on the shelves. Maryann Rosenthal has written a
new book. It is entitled, Be A Parent, Not A Pushover, A Parent's Guide To
Raising Happy, Emotionally Healthy Teens.
Make sure you check out the SDPA website at www.sdpsych.org. Dr.
Lougeay has done a terrific job with the site. Gloria and Joe Shurman
recently returned from Tahiti. To his friends, Joe is called Caesar, since he
was once asked to play Julius Caesar at a party sponsored by a drug
company in Rome. He made his entrance in a chariot pulled by live horses!

PRESIDENT’S CORNER
Chris Osterloh, Ph.D.
It is at this time of the year that SDPA
begins to seek nominations for
upcoming Board positions. I will take
this as an opportunity to extend my
appreciation to our current Board
members and highlight their dedication.
Your current Board is exceptional. It
has been my privilege to be in the midst
of people who are team players, who
honor their commitments, who stretch
themselves time-wise and personally to
make our Association the most active
and progressive local psychological
association in the state of California. I
have served on the Board for four years
and have witnessed the changes that
come with Board compositions. They
have all been amazing years-the
dynamics, the associations,the
friendships, and the conflicts. I am
proud and honored to have been a part
of these groups.
Our longest serving Board member is
Hugh Pates.
He has served as
President, and is now in his final year as
CPA Representative. Hugh brings to
the Board his sense of fairness, his
perspective, particularly on trusting
others. Somehow his humor is
delivered at precisely the right
moments, easing tensions, and breaking
the ice as we come together for our
meetings after a long day of doing the
many things that our lives require. His
value on family reminds us that there is
more to our lives than our work.
Rosalie Easton has the most incredible
ability to cut to the chase of any
discussion. Although she is short on
words, every word counts. Once again,
she brings her wry sense of humor to our
meetings and devotes a tremendous
amount of time to the needs of the
Association. She really doesn't need to
give all of this time; she simply does,
because she is dedicated. Her talents
take her from the functions as Treasurer,
to being the movie mogul of our
association. Brenda Johnson is
perhaps the most energetic of our group.
Like Rosalie and Hugh, her sense of
humor carries us all through our
business issues. She is, without doubt,
the most determined and persistent
individual that I have had the privilege
of working with. SDPA is fortunate to
have Brenda assume the Board
4
presidency next
year.
Steve
Solomon and
Jeff Jones must
have been
brothers in a
previous life.
Talk about a balancing between a
sense of humor and seriousness.
These two members have such a
comfortable pace regarding their
dedication to the Association. Next
year, both will be stepping down from
their positions and the Board will feel
their absence. One of our new Board
members, Nancy Haller, is an
astonishing thinker. I don't believe
that I could learn more about clear
thinking, getting to the bottom line of
an issue, and an objectivism than from
Nancy. Lori Magnusson is another
one of our “bottom line thinkers” and
her enthusiasm for advocacy is
astonishing.
Her diverse
background, which includes fine arts,
a quest for learning, and branching
out into other fields of study make her
a most interesting person. Christine
Baser, who agreed to accept the one
year appointment as Secretary (left
vacant when Brenda was elected
Pres.-Elect) is a star on the horizon.
As busy as she is during our meetings
recording the Board's activity, she has
an uncanny ability to ask just the right
questions- poignant and timely.
Everyone on the board has such a good
sense of humor. Sometimes I think,
'what if this was on videotape?' I really
think that we could be featured at the
Comedy Store. It is really a joy to be
associated with this group. We laugh
well together. We argue well together.
I dare to say that we truly like one
another (most of all of the time).
I know that you are all busy with your
professional lives, your families and
your personal interests.
But, I
encourage you to consider participating
in the leadership of SDPA. There is so
much to be gained. If there is a window
in your life that is open, please consider
becoming involved in SDPA.
Appreciation is extended to Jeannine
White and Adria O'Donnell for their
continuing education programs held in
June. Linda Schrenk is to be honored
on behalf of the SDPA Disaster Mental
Health/Resiliency and Youth Violence
Prevention Committee.
In
collaboration with the Wild Fire
Recovery Project, Linda provided
Resiliency brochures from APA at the
Del Mar Fair that reached
approximately 3,000 people. Linda,
how do you do it? And to all who
participate in the activities of the
SDPA….BRAVO!
Until next time,
Chris

Continued From P1 - Self-Help Books on Borderline Personality Disorder
Since the late 1990’s, numerous books
for the layman on the topic of
Borderline Personality Disorder have
appeared. These include books written
for people with BP, as well as some
explicitly focused on helping
significant others and family members
of someone with the disorder. The most
important self-help publication for
significant others also has a blockbuster
title: Stop Walking on Eggshells:
Taking Your Life Back When Someone
You Care About Has Borderline
Personality Disorder [2]. This book
features verbatim contributions from
members of an internet support group
of people involved with others with
BPD and includes specific strategies for
communicating and setting limits.
There is also an accompanying
workbook [2]. One of the authors is
also a co-author of two other booklets
on specific topics, one for parents [3]
and one for partners [4]. Another recent
book, Understanding the Borderline
Mother, explores in depth the
consequences of being raised by
someone with BPD [5] and includes
detailed descriptions of borderline
mother subtypes entitled the Waif, the
Hermit, the Queen, and the Witch.
literature has the potential to be
extremely helpful by increasing
understanding of irrational and
unpredictable behavior and by
recommending concrete methods of
communication to de-escalate
conflict. For persons with BPD or
many borderline traits, this literature
may offer a rare experience of having
chaotic and troubling feelings and
behavior described and validated.
Because of BPD sensitivity and
intense reactions, clinicians will need
to exercise their best judgment, of
course, in determining when and how
to recommend any of these books. It
may be helpful to make it clear that
self-help resources are not intended to
replace clinical care (in fact, all of
these books strongly endorse seeking
and staying in therapy). Another idea
would be to offer several titles and
suggest that the person look through a
few at the bookstore or browse online and choose one he or she feels fits
best. And, as is the case with any
recommended reading as an adjunct
to psychotherapy, it can be important
to remind people not to continue
reading if something becomes too
disturbing, as well as to bring in all
reactions, good and bad, to discuss in
session. Finally, this bibliographical
review is not exhaustive, as new selfhelp publications on BPD seem to be
coming out very often, but it includes
almost all of the books on this
important and increasingly popular
topic.
Other worthwhile books targeting
readers with BPD appeared in the late
1990’s. Although each has a slightly
different focus, all emphasize that
psychotherapy and medication can
help. Two are by psychiatrists [6, 7],
one by someone with BPD who has
experienced treatment with Linehan's
Dialectical Behavior Therapy model
[8], and one by a psychologist who
addresses addictive disorders at the
same time [9]. All of these include
meaningful descriptions of symptoms
and recommendations for treatment.
The theme of hope is continued in the
two latest works to appear, New Hope
for Borderline Personality
Disorder[10], featuring a foreword by
personality disorder expert Theodore
Millon, and the 2004 publication
Sometimes I Act Crazy: Living with
Borderline Personality Disorder[11] ,
which is a new book by the authors of I
Hate You - Don't Leave Me.

Continued From P1 - Research Corner
this age of being pressed for
“outcomes” and measures of efficacy,
being aware of the current (and prior)
research that supports one's clinical
strategy strongly corresponds to the
scientist-practitioner model many of us
subscribe to.
My aim for these
“research corners” is not a pedantic
one, assuming out of hubris that the
readers of this newsletter need
enlightenment!!
Rather, it is my
objective to summarize and comment
on recent trends and issues that with
your extremely busy practices you
haven't had the wherewithal to
examine. Moreover, given my own
time constraints, these articles will not
be reviews of the research, though if
any of the ideas spark an incipient
interest, please feel free to contact me at
[email protected] or you
can access www.glaserconsult.com
and I would be happy to furnish
references. Also, if there are any
specific areas related to measurement,
statistics, or evaluation/assessment you
would like me to address, please feel
free to suggest such.
To p i c # 1 : T h e S c o u r g e o f
Nonindependence
More than on a rare occasion, I have
had the timing of certain statistical and
measurement issues literally overlap in
both my teachings and consulting.
This past week one such issue has
raised its complex ugly little head: the
modeling of dyadic or nonindependent
observations. As you may recall from
y o u r A N O VA d a y s , c e r t a i n
assumptions are necessary to base your
faith on the test statistic (i.e., F). For
the most part, our concerns as students
are gingerly allayed when we're told
“don't worry though, these test
statistics are generally robust to such
violations of normality, homogeneity
of variance, etc.” Generally that is true,
however a good deal of research via
Monte Carlo studies have shown that
various test statistics are not robust
('robust' literally means that p-values
and/or confidence intervals don't
change that much, from the idealized
distribution, when moderate violations
are apparent) to such violations when
sample sizes are markedly unequal.
However, one assumption that was
presented as more a methodological
concern than statistical, was the
assumption of independent
6
observations. This implies that
participants within or across
treatment levels do not influence or
impact each other's scores. As I
convey to my students, this is actually
the most critical assumption. There
are little tricks of the trade to obviate
the effects of nonnormality or unequal
variances (e.g., nonparametric tests,
transformations), however,
nonindependence of observations is a
completely different animal.
Nonindependence of contiguous data
points has long been statistically
examined in the time series literature
via such models as Autoregressive
I n t e g r a t e d M o v i n g Av e r a g e
(ARIMA) where the nature of the
autocorrelations (i.e., the notion that
data for variables measured closer in
time will have larger correlations than
those measured farther apart) between
measured observations are
incorporated into model fit.
What about clinical studies
where nonindependence is
violated because twins or
siblings or other closely related
members are included in the
same database? This is probably
the rule rather than the exception for
studies investigating marital
satisfaction or twin studies. However,
to collapse the data as one unified
cohort, ignoring the fact that there are
bound to be correlated responses (i.e.,
husband and wife may share similar
viewpoints on a marital satisfaction
inventory) culminates in many biases,
including standard errors that are
underestimated (thus, inflating Type I
error). Why I bring this issue up is I
have consulted on two projects this
past week where there were related
participants within groups/cohorts,
and it was obvious that the analysis
proposed was neglecting the
dependent structures. This leads to a
level of aggregation that is
inappropriate given the inherent
nesting or clustering of the data.
David Kenny addressed issues of
nonindependence in the
psychological literature in the 80's and
much work in couples research has
addressed this conundrum when
conducting dyadic studies.
So, what is the solution? For many
years, the discipline of education has
recognized these problems of nesting
or clustering: i.e., student is nested
within class, nested within school,
nested within region, nested within
state, etc. Thus, it is only by analyzing
the data at the proper level of
disaggregation, that the proper variance
components (and standard errors)
result. Thus, the entree of Hierarchical
Linear Modeling (HLM), sometimes
called multilevel modeling or random
coefficients models.
Bryk &
Raudenbush's 1992 text: Hierarchical
Linear Models for Social and
Behavioral Research: Applications and
Data Analysis Methods. Newbury is
oft-cited as a seminal reference in this
area, even though others such as
Goldstein have influenced the
development of this area (see:
http://www.ssicentral.com/hlm/hlmref
.htm for other references).
HLM has especially seen a burgeoning
interest in the last decade, in part based
on the acknowledgement (and
repercussions) of nested structures (i.e.,
husband within family) as well as the
development of software from the
DOS-only programs up to windows
interface (though use of
syntax/programming language is still
crucial, especially for more complex
models). HLM is not only able to test
nested structures, and thus model the
extent of nonindependence (i.e.,
intraclass correlation coefficient) but
also can be used for longitudinal
studies, such as latent growth curve
modeling, where trajectories that vary
(i.e., slope) over time can be modeled,
as well as differences in intercepts (i.e.,
starting points). Moreover, many
investigators have shown how to use
multilevel models within structural
equation modeling (SEM), with
LISREL (a SEM software) now
providing a multilevel option. The
Duncans and their colleagues from
Oregon Research Institute, as well as
Bengt Muthen from UCLA, have made
amazing strides in using HLM and
SEM for growth curve models and
nonindependent structures as it relates
to such phenomenon as alcohol and
substance abuse.
Thus, when you review the research
and it seems that related observations
may be part and parcel of the design,
you may want to double-check if the
proper level of analysis was conducted.
If not, and the level of aggregation was
inappropriate, interpretation of the
results should be held with some
skepticism.
July/August 2004
Continued From P1 - Loss
person must go through in order to get
to the other side of the pain where he or
she can find oneself again…not the
same self to be sure; a transformed self
that has had another facet added to the
landscape of one's existence. I think a
diamond is an apt metaphor since it is a
magnificent creation of nature;
beautiful and unique as a snowflake;
imperfect in its grandeur; and cut
specifically to the design of the stone
(i.e., marquis, round, square, oval, etc.).
As clinicians, loss is certainly one of the
prevailing themes that reincarnates
itself in a variety of forms in the office.
How many of us can identify with the
patient who desperately wants to be
loved and accepted in an unconditional
manner; like the love a newborn might
receive from a proud parent? And yet,
how many people ever truly had that
need met and therefore, find themselves
attempting to resolve unmet needs of
the child in their adult relationships?
Another loss - loss of the ability to
sustain an intrinsic sense of self without
relying on others to compensate for the
early loss - but, you may argue, we are
relational, if not in a person's
interpersonal relationships, then
where? Where precisely - in the
therapeutic relationship - where these
primitive needs and wants can be
addressed and worked through - the
early loss of what was never obtained
grieved. Once this is accomplished, the
patient is free to pursue adult
relationships in a healthy manner as
opposed to a primitive, screaming for
the breast - unmet need-based mode.
Youth (i.e., agility, endurance, time) is
another loss; however, the wisdom of
age is a true gain that offsets the
perceived loss of no longer being
young. As a woman, particularly in
our culture, I am deeply saddened by
the preoccupation with staying young
and looking nubile. Is this not a denial
of loss in its purest form? My husband
and I recently saw a movie wherein the
mother of the leading lady was
continually engaged in some procedure
that might retard the onset of aging.
When the daughter's love interest asks
the mother how old she is, she replies
that “…parts of me are 56.” Funny
enough line, however, distressing in
many respects as well. Diane Keaton
has openly denied having any plastic
surgery to delay the effects of an
advancing age - and yet, she is a knock
out - because she looks real; her face
connotes the face of a woman who has
laughed hard, cried loudly, loved
deeply, and achieved much in both her
personal and professional life. Here,
here! No cryin' over spilled milk in
Ms. Keaton's company for not being, or
more accurately, looking, like a 29year-old. But isn't that the point? Why
would someone want to retain what has
since past, if in fact they are embracing
what is ahead?
When a parent dies, is this not a
reminder of the passage of time? The
loss of so much and hopefully, the
retention of much as well (i.e., the gain
or the gift). And in helping our patients
move through loss, whether it be a loss
of a relationship, physical capabilities,
or something less tangible hope we
must consider that letting go of what
was is necessary in order to grab onto
what is…and that is one of the most
difficult things for any of us to
do…relinquish the familiar for the (as
yet) unknown.

DIALOGUE WITH MAURY ZEMLICK
By David DiCicco, Ph.D.
Some weeks ago I sat down with Maury
Zemlick to talk with him about his life.
A well-known psychologist in San
Diego and California, Maury was born
in St. Louis. His father ran a soda pop
factory, a family business, while his
mother stayed home and took care of
Maury and his two younger sisters.
Maury began school at Washington
University in St. Louis, but his
schooling was interrupted by World
War II. He moved to different duty
stations and ended up on the battleship
Missouri where he witnessed the
surrender of Japan in 1945. Returning
to college he received his degrees and
came to California in 1955. A
classmate, Bob Kaplan, encouraged
Maury to come to San Diego, after
learning Maury wanted to be
July/August 2004
psychoanalyzed. In those days
physician analysts weren't allowed to
analyze psychologists, if a
psychologist planned to be a therapist!
Maury initially worked as the chief
psychologist at the former Naval
Training Center, but eventually he
opened an office at Fourth and Laurel
streets. During those years Maury
became the chief psychologist at the
first Day Hospital for adults in the
country, in addition to consulting a
variety of agencies and seeing private
patients.
A number of CPA members had been
trying to address the need for more
psychological practitioners in
California. Their talks led to the
formation of the California School of
Professional Psychology. Nick
Cummings headed up the new school,
and Maury, an original board member,
became the Dean of the San Diego
campus.
After a number of exciting years at
CSPP, Maury left and returned to
practice. Asked why he departed CSPP,
Maury bluntly told me, “I was fired by
John O'Neil. I wasn't one of his
favorites!” Not surprisingly, Maury's

pioneering spirit and managed care
weren't a good match. He retired in
1995, but reentered practice a year
ago. He accepted a part time position
with Golden House, an adult day care
center for Russian immigrants. Maury
studies Russian four hours a week,
does evaluations, and consults to the
staff.
For the last four to five years Maury
has been painting. Many of his
outstanding pieces have been featured
in the San Diego Psychologist.
Painting relaxes him, and with
characteristic passion and drive Maury
said, “I have much to learn.”
What has been the most interesting
project you have had as a
psychologist?
Probably the most interesting project
or experience that I have had was in the
development of CSPP. This came as a
totally unexpected opportunity for me
to participate in the development of a
program that subsequently became
such a significant part of professional
psychology. It was challenging
because it required me to use resources
that I didn't know I had. I not only
became involved in developing an
educational program with colleagues,
but got a first hand look at what the
future of psychology was moving
toward and what it needed to be.
Ultimately, I administered a budget
that quickly grew from a million to
three million dollars! I hired staff and
developed facilities and resources to
support this program. I was having
experiences I would have never
dreamed. I met many people in the
community who became supporters; I
worked closely with fellow
psychologists who enthusiastically
volunteered their services. I also had
the unpleasant job of refusing services
of people who wanted to teach, but
were found lacking the expertise
needed by the school.
The process became highly political in
ways I never imagined. It brought out
8
the best and the worst in the people
involved. Students who came to the
school were diverse. Some were very
talented and positive, but a few were
unqualified, and we had the job of
discouraging those people. So it was a
push/pull situation in many respects,
and I had to become versed in areas in
which I had little or no experience.
Helping the school become accredited,
and developing a fine reputation, was a
daunting challenge. CSPP-SD was the
first campus of the four branches of
CSPP to receive APA accreditation.
This was my No.1 satisfying
experience.
Where do you see the professional
psychology movement headed?
I don't have a clear picture as to what
direction psychology will take in the
future. I have the feeling that it's a very
open field. There are things that are
developing that I have become aware
of, and they seem to have a lot of
promise.
One example, but not
necessarily the most important, is some
of the work being done in the area of
virtual reality. A few new therapeutic
approaches sound intriguing, and
others sound like the same old stuff.
Current emphasis is moving away
from what I consider effective
psychotherapy. There is great pressure
from the insurance industry and the
government to do short-term therapy
and other postage stamp interventions.
It bothers me that much of the training
with current graduate students
addresses requirements, which reflect
economic demands of the time. Little
attention appears to be given to helping
students develop their own internal
resources as change agents. There is
too much focus on quick fix ideas,
where the dollar drives treatment
choice.
What place has your family played in
your career?
My family has been extremely central
to who I am and what I have done with
my life. In particular, my wife Lu has
been a partner in every sense of the
word. She has worked beside me
during the period we were developing
CSPP. She has always been a very
positive supporter of the things I
wanted to do and has encouraged me to
take paths I may have wanted to shy
away from.
I think that was
particularly true of the development of
CSPP. I thought it was unreasonable
and unreal for me to get involved in an
academic program since I was not an
academician! I am a clinician, but she
thought it would be important for me
to do. She was one of Nick Cumming's
main supporters in persuading me to
develop a San Diego campus. That
scenario is typical of her support. On
the other hand, there are some things I
wanted to do that she was wary of. But
when I said that this was the direction
to go, she joined ranks and supported
me. We have had a very good
relationship for 58 years.
We have five children, three daughters
and two sons. Our oldest son, Marc, is
an inventory control specialist,
responsible for the on-time delivery of
materials and their inclusion in the
manufacturing processes. He is very
happy with his work, and with his
wife, Cathy, of 28 years. I suspect his
biggest joy is his daughter, Brittany,
who is currently majoring in
psychology at Chapman University.
We may have a third generation
psychologist in the family.
Our second child, Sherry, is a Clinical
Psychologist with a successful private
practice in Salt Lake City. She has a
full and diverse life style, conducting
groups, teaching part-time at The
University of Utah, leading groups of
women on week long river rafting
experiences, and, frequently, entering
ballroom dance competitions
throughout the US. She is a graduate
of CSPP-SD, and although she would
probably like to return to San Diego, to
live closer to family, it doesn't seem
reasonable from a standpoint of

developing a practice here. We
appreciate her frequent visits.
Our third child, Cindy, happily married
to Dan for 31 years, has two sons, and
two grandchildren. She works for a
cosmetic manufacturing firm in North
County and is involved in the
promotional aspect of their products.
She is an amateur photographer and has
recorded many of the parties and
special events on the CSPP-SD
campus.
Our second son and fourth child is Carl.
Carlo, as he likes to be called, went to
CSPP-LA in the early days, but he
branched off in a number of areas.
From my perspective, he has always
been something of a maverick. I think
today you would classify him as a
“healer.” He works with people using
energy transfer techniques. He has
clients all over the United States who at
times fly across the country to meet
with him, or he travels to them to do
interventions. He moved to Ashland,
OR several years ago where he has a
21-acre spread. He built a guesthouse
and lived in that while building a large
home. However, that project was
interrupted when he met Nicole, a
popular television talk show host in
Munich. For the last year and a half, he
has lived in Germany.
Our youngest child, Lori, has been a
Grossmont College professionally
trained nanny for the last 20 years. Her
husband, John, is a submariner
currently stationed at Cape Canaveral,
FL. Singing is Lori's hobby. She is
frequently asked to perform at various
naval functions on base.
Throughout much of your life, you seem
to be a person who has been on the
cutting edge of change and fought for
causes that were important to you.
Where do you think this kind of drive
and desire to make things better comes
from?
develop this or that direction in my life.
My father was always a very hard
worker and someone who found
answers to problems when needed. I
grew up in the Depression years. I saw
people lose all of their tangible
holdings. An incident that sticks out in
my thinking is when my dad lost our
home and everything else. He found a
way to manage, to bring us through the
depression and rebuild our lives. I
remember asking him, when I married
and started a family, “What do you think
about buying a home when things are so
shaky and you can lose your
possessions?” His answer quickly was,
“You just go ahead and do it and things
will work out.” I guess that has been
part of my philosophy.
As I have grown older, what is
important to me is to be actively
involved in developing constructive
ways of being and doing. I try to convey
this to my patients. When you stop
doing things, stop working for change,
you essentially cease to exist. You are
no longer an active, living, productive
person. I think that as long that one is
alive, one should be involved in
constructive activities. In fact, this is
what I do at my present work with an
aging population I treat. Many older
people, as they reach the age of 70 or 80,
conclude they are just waiting to die.
That's what their focus becomes. It is
very, very important, particularly in our
work with the aged to encourage them
to continue to use their unique resources
to be creative and self-evolving.
I don't know how I got here, but that's
where I am.

THE PRACTICE
MANAGEMENT
COMMITTEE TALKS
WITH STACY KIM
JOHNSTON,PH.D.
By Barbara Cox,
Ph.D.
How did you decide to
start a private
practice and how did
this evolve into your
current practice?
I started working for a psychotherapy
group in South Bay to collect my hours
for licensure and I became licensed in
June 2001. During this time, I went to a
Meeting of the Minds annual multidisciplinary conference and met some
people who work for United
Behavioral Health (UBH).
They
needed therapists to refer to who
worked in the South Bay area and who
specialized in working with domestic
violence issues. So, I got a lot of
referrals from UBH that year. I quickly
learned the value of networking. At
that time, I worked 2 days a week
private practice and 3 days a week for
the group. About a year and half later, I
opened my Hillcrest office. Now, I
work 2 days in La Mesa and 2 in
Hillcrest.
What are your hours and what clientele
do you see?
I primarily see Medi-Cal clients,
however; other referral sources include
Medi-Care, TERM team (courtordered), Managed Health Network,
Champus/Tricare and Blue Cross. I
work with adults, adolescents, families
and couples - I love couples work,
watching the dynamics. My specialty
areas include domestic violence and
relationship issues. I see anywhere
from 2 to 9 people a day. I work 25 to
30 hours a week. I like to have an
active social life outside of work, so I
work days to 6 p.m. usually, with no
evenings or weekends.
July/August 2004
Are there any strategies you have found
to help reduce stress?
I've learned how to not take stress
home. You know, I used to take it home
at the beginning, like have dreams
about cases (laughs), now I've learned
to focus work at the office and have
outside interests. Outside of private
practice, I'm an avid exerciser, I write
music and sing with bands (one of
which played at the SDPA Spring
Conference). I am also writing a book
on relationships, which I find to be a
good therapeutic outlet. I also have a 9year-old daughter, Rachel, and 5-year
old son, Joshua, who I spend a lot of
quality time with.
YOUR ATTENTION
PLEASE
Under the guidance of our legal
counsel, SDPA will not offer referrals
to members for services or products.
This includes, but is not limited to,
referrals to accountants, billing
services, insurance products, and
health plans. Newsletter and directory
advertisements should not be viewed as
endorsements by SDPA.
Chris Osterloh, Ph.D.
Do you have any steps you've taken to
reduce costs in your practice?
I do all my own billing and scheduling.
I pay pretty reasonable rent and that
includes use of an office fax, phone,
and copy machine. So, I have low
overhead. I have a great tax person that
helps me with deductions for business
expenses.
Do you have any tips for colleagues to
maximize referrals with minimal
effort?
Medi-Cal sends me most of my
referrals - I haven't had to do any
advertising. Although, since I am
working on the book and plan to
publish it within the next few years, I
assume that will lead to more couples
work, and more self-pay referrals.
Occasionally, I give community
lectures on my specialty areas.
Do you have any other advice about
managing a practice that you can share
with your colleagues?
Yes, I've come up with a system to cut
down on no-shows and late
cancellations. At the first session, I
have clients sign a “No-show/Late
Cancellation Policy” form. It basically
states that if you need to cancel an
appointment, you have to call prior to 8
p.m. the day before your scheduled
appointment to cancel. Otherwise, I
charge the client a late cancellation fee.
I collect the fee the following week, so
that it doesn't accrue on their account.
This has significantly reduced noshows and late cancellations for me.

SPRING CONFERENCE PRACTICE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
.Spring conference 2004 was held on
the seventh of May at the Four Points
Sheraton Hotel in Kearny Mesa.
Following registration, which was
accompanied by coffee and pastry,
there were two workshops open to
attendees. Beverly Kilman discussed
therapy with children and adolescents,
while a law and ethics workshop was
conducted by Ray Trybus, Steve
Sparta, and Attorney Keith
Zwillinger. In the afternoon, Mark
Katz presented material about Adult
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder, and Karen Hyland
discussed domestic violence issues.
About two hundred people attended the
conference, which was very well
organized. Much credit is due to
Sharon Wilson and Kirsten Gorell, who
are logistically gifted. Trisha Heras and
her committee did a wonderful job
planning the conference and
facilitating workshops. Chris Osterloh
did her usual competent job throughout
the day in her role as SDPA President.
The final highpoint of the day was the
debut of The Loose Associations, a
band made up of SDPA members.
Preston Sims, the driving force behind
the band, played guitar and sang James
Taylor songs. His stage presence was
impressive! Clark Clipson was on
keyboard, Stan Pachter played guitar,
and Jon Nachison beat the drums. Toni
Ann Cafaro was backup singer for
rocker Stacy Kim Johnston, the group's
soloist. The band will be making future
appearances.
Mission Statement
This committee assists clinicians in establishing and maintaining successful
practices. It provides practice management information and resources through
newsletter and website articles, educational programs, and networking
opportunities. A major focus is on increasing efficiency in day-to-day practice and
eliminating unneeded costs. These streamlining approaches will help practitioners
reduce stress at work and preserve their financial viability, allowing them to
provide high quality services to clients as long as they choose.

SPIRITUALITY
AND PSYCHOLOGY
By T. Jordon Goulder, Ph.D.
“Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind”
Albert Einstein
Clinical psychology is a healing science
which attempts to bring mental and
emotional health to those who come
under the care of its practitioners. Most
of us psychologists perform our art of
healing from a theoretical base which
guides us and our clients to the
resolution of certain issues and
problems of daily life.
As psychologists we deal with different
levels of identity ranging from the
persona, to the ego, to transpersonal
bands of identity which are outside of
the organism. It is at the transpersonal
level where Spirituality and
psychology begin to merge and it is at
this point where I do my work.
According to Ken Wilbur (No
Boundary, 1979, 2001) there are five
major definitions of Spirituality. The
one I am most often asked to work with
is what is referred to as unity
consciousness. Unity consciousness is
that level of Spirituality or mysticism
where the individual seeks to unite with
the All. In simple terms, this is where
we meet God/Spirit and the universe of
all things.
In the blending of the science of
psychology with the Spiritual I attempt
to guide the client on a path which
brings about resolution of issues and a
unity with the All.
This is
accomplished through practices which
may involve traditional psychotherapy
techniques and also practices which
lead to a mystical progression toward
the ultimate unity with God and the
objective universe. The techniques I use
include meditation, prayer, readings,
contemplation, dream analysis, and if
desired by the client, deep relaxation
and past life regression. These
techniques are taught to the client and
as the client progresses there is a
transformation of consciousness which
brings about a state of peace and
resolution to everyday issues.
12
Ken Wilber points out in his work,
Integral Psychology(2000), that the
great nest of being is like a stream
which flows from basic matter and the
science of physics to causal constructs
such as spirit and the practice of
mysticism. In my current practice I
describe my work as a mystical
approach to the healing of the soul.
Clients are seekers after the All/God
and may come with everyday issues
which are lodged in other levels of their
identity. Therefore, the work I do must
simultaneously interact with each level
of identity while leading the person
into a relationship with what we may
commonly refer to as God.
There is, of course, a basic assumption
that guides this process. The
assumption is that there is a force in the
universe which is intelligent, ever
present, and all powerful. We humans
are part of that force; our energy is
indestructible and eternal. (E=MC2).
Enlightenment is the coming to
realization of that unity and living our
daily life with that inner sense that this
is our ultimate identity.
Thus, psychology and spirituality are
not foes but are part of the unity which
can bring peace and harmony to the
lives of our clients.
Upon calling the claims agent, she said
that the claim was denied for an
incorrect procedure code. This
explanation made no sense because I
routinely billed this and other insurance
carriers using the widely accepted
90806 code, and I had never been
denied payment before. I asked the
agent to read other claim details out
loud to discover another possible
reason for the denial. During her review
she read off the diagnosis code as 296.2.
Iquickly realized that although this was
a standard code for major depressive
disorder, the fifth digit was missing. I
asked the agent to type in a
corrected code of 296.22 and walla!
The mystery was solved and the claim
was reprocessed for payment.
I soon receive calls from two
colleagues who had received a similar
payment denial from the same
insurance carrier. They had also used a
4-digit diagnosis code, and quickly
solved the payment problem by adding
the fifth digit. Hopefully from our
experiences you'll be able to prevent
similar frustration and payment delays
in your practice. Just remember, five is
better than four!

To
always include a complete 5-digit

a large insurance carrier denied a bill for
services to my client who

always billed the same diagnosis and
procedure code with no prior payment

SNAPSHOTS
Distant are the Lights in the Valley
Not many people
hiked in the White
Mountains of New
Hampshire in 1957. It
was before the
outdoor and ecology
movements, and the
trails were empty. On weekends you
could still find sleeping places in the
shelters and small cabins that dotted
the wilderness areas of Northern New
Hampshire.
I was sixteen that summer, and I had
driven to Randolph to climb Mt.
Adams with two friends. I had spent
years hiking in the White Mountains as
a summer camper, but this was my first
“solo” excursion. In the morning we
climbed up a ridge to a small cabin,
which overlooked a long valley. Our
elevation was over 4000 feet.
After finding places to sleep in the
cabin, talking to the few other
backpackers, and preparing supper, we
wedged ourselves between two big
rocks near the cabin. We looked at the
distant valley lights and talked for
hours. We talked about future trips,
adventures, and possibilities. It seemed
as if we were the only people alive, as
there was no sound other than that of
the silent wind. I felt a sense of peace
and contentment that I would feel
many times later on, when I visited
similar wilderness places. Gradually
the lights in the valley dimmed as night
moved on. At some point we knew we
needed to end this magical time, and
we eventually walked to our cabin to
let our dreams take over and carry us to
other places distant in time and space.
Christmas in West Virginia
It seemed a long time since Christmas,
which was really a misnomer for her,
what with the funeral and all. The
music was pretty, there were a lot of
people, and everyone had been nice.
The casket covered with the American
flag was carried by some Marines, and
that sight had moved her. But then it
was over, and she was alone. She hadn't
July/August 2004
been back to the church since then, and
she doubted she would return. She had
lost something besides her husband,
but she wasn't sure what it was.
She looked out over the hollow now,
not too far from the coal mine where
her father and brothers had worked.
She thought there might be a whiskey
still nearby, but she wasn't sure. A large
blackbird landed not far from her. The
dirt road she had walked on was very
dry, as there had been little rain of late.
She lit a cigarette and looked out to the
west. The sun would set soon, and it
was time to go home.

Perfection in a Glass
Many years ago my father was
appointed a judge by the governor of
Massachusetts, Frank Sergeant. I
thought well of Governor Sergeant,
whom I used to see skiing frequently at
Canon Mountain in northern New
Hampshire. He was handsome with his
patrician looks and traditional ski wear.
I was happy he had selected my father,
a smart, hard-working attorney.
After a hard day on the bench dealing
with aggressive lawyers and
manipulative “bad guys”, my father
liked to relax with a Martini.
Sometimes he and his court officers
would go out, but over time that
process became complicated. Small
town judges in those days were local
celebrities, and bistro owners and
patrons alike were forever trying to
curry favor by buying drinks and
dinner. My father liked the attention,
but he realized the potential conflict of
interest, so more often than not he came
home to relax.
Early on he had taught me the fine art of
Martini making. I had taken that skill to
college, where I worked as a bartender
for private parties. Over time I realized
that Martinis for many were as much an
important symbol as an alcoholic drink.
Martinis signaled that the time for
worry and organized thought was over.
They were a prelude to a fine meal or a
satisfying end unto themselves. They
could be discussed endlessly with
interest and enthusiasm. They never
really lost their popularity on the East
Coast, where the remnants of
Calvinism and Puritanism continued to
battle fun and joy. They proved to be a
magnificent weapon in that “holy” war.
Before continuing, I must point out
what a Martini is and is not. Martinis
over ice are good, but they are not
Martinis. They are gin and water with a
little Vermouth. Drinks with a little fruit
juice mixed with the gin aren't Martinis
either, though they are pretty, and they
probably taste good. I don't consider a
vodka martini to be a true Martini, but I
may be in the minority on that one.
Martinis accompanied by onions, twists
of lemon, and olives all qualify for
Martini status.
Like a Ferrari, a Martini can be great
fun, but if mishandled it can be
dangerous. One is good; two maybe,
depending on the size of the glass, but
three doesn't work. In my bartending
days I never saw anyone who could
drink three Martinis without a problem.
Restaurants frequently make poor
Martinis. You may wonder why, since
ostensibly most restaurants employ
professional bartenders. The answer is
in the chilling process. To make an
outstanding Martini, place your Martini
glasses in the freezer. Then put ice
cubes in a glass pitcher, and place the
pitcher in your freezer for five minutes.
Don't use ice chips because when you
mix the drink, you will add too much
water to the gin thus diluting the flavor
of the drink. Select a high grade gin like
Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray Ten
and pour it over the ice which by now
has frozen together. Add a small
amount of extra dry Vermouth. Don't
measure anything as you'll surely lose
the artistic fun of it all. Stir the liquid
well with a long spoon, and put the
pitcher back in the freezer for a few
minutes. Take your chilled glasses from
the freezer; add three Spanish olives on
a toothpick, pour the drink, and serve. If
created properly, the drink should be
ice cold with specs of ice floating on the
surface, looking like a Great Lake in
January.
If the process has been successful,
you'll hear sighs, see smiles, and
receive comments like, “That's what I
call a drink.”

TIPS FOR TEACHERS
No one wants to feel
like a dufus! Teachers
probably focus too
much on content rather
than process in
classrooms everywhere. I remember
once in a college section making a
comment that I thought wasn't
unreasonable. The instructor said
something like, “No, that's not right.”
Needless to say, his remark didn't
encourage me to make many more
contributions to future discussions in a
course I liked.
16
Questions and comments are
opportunities to impact students. Over
time I learned to always respect a
contribution by a student. After a few
years I would perceive a question
slowly floating towards me with
multiple, possible responses. Usually
I would try to find something of value
in the comment and frequently use it
as a springboard to further the
discussion. I would never allow other
students to make fun of a fellow
student's comment, as such behavior
could set up a malignant norm in the
classroom. Safe students talk and enjoy
the learning process. Find gold in
students' contributions, and you will
enrich yourself with a lively, motivated
classroom.
July/August 2004
DINING OUT
Prime Ten on Via De La Valle in Del
Mar is a terrific restaurant. As the name
suggests, it's a steakhouse, but there
are many other choices available. The
night I ate there I had an excellent rib
eye steak, and my friend had rack of
lamb, which was also delicious. Our
waiter was attentive and
knowledgeable. The wine list was
impressive. In a celebratory move we
shared a single malt with our waiter at
the end of the meal. That should tell you
something. Prime Ten is expensive, but
it's worth it!

ON THE BEAT
By Steve Waldheim
I have been a San
Diego Police Officer
for the past five
years, and I love
every minute of it.
This job can be both
stressful at times and
the best job someone
could ask for. Where else can you play
a lawyer, psychiatrist, reporter,
marriage counselor, paramedic, parent,
and many times, just be a good listener.
Daily life as a police officer changes
from day to day. You never know what
you're going to get into at any given
time. Every four months we switch our
days off and the hours we work. There
are three rotations of working
mornings, afternoons, or graveyards.
The good thing about our schedule is
working four ten-hour days instead of a
normal five eight-hour days.
So far, I have worked in a patrol car for
almost my entire career. Life in a
patrol car has many different aspects. I
normally ride with a partner right now
and work from two o'clock in the
afternoon until midnight. The daily
life of being a patrol officer can range
from writing parking tickets to being
involved in a shooting. The average
patrol officer on an every day account
spends most of his or her time
answering radio calls. Just because a
police officer doesn't have their lights
and siren on doesn't mean they aren't
responding to a radio call. The majority
of radio calls we respond to are not
emergency situations. Many calls are a
low priority such as a burglary report or
a noise disturbance. When I'm not
responding to radio calls I'm usually
doing proactive policing. Proactive
policing is pulling people over for
violations or trying to solve problems in
certain areas. Each patrol officer is
assigned a certain beat, and he or she is
responsible for that area. If a problem
arises on a certain beat the officer who
works during the time of the problem is
expected to handle it. One problem I
recently encountered was vehicles
being broken into at a certain apartment
complex. Vehicles were consistently
being burglarized and some stolen. I
came up with a plan to combat these
crimes and try and lower the number of
cars being broken into. Other officers
and I conducted stakeouts, used bait
cars, and worked with management to
solve the problem. This is just one
example of several problems which
occur on any given beat.
different capacities. We can work
in a helicopter, ride on a horse, or work
on a bicycle. There are many other
options. Some years ago I was assigned
to work the beach in the summer. You
know those guys who wear shorts and
get to ride a cool-looking bicycle.
Everyone looks at us and says, “Boy,
what a tough job” -- riding around on a
bicycle on a beautiful summer day at the
beach. Until I became a police officer I
used to say the same thing. By the end
of the summer, I assure you, my attitude
changed. I ended up in more
undesirable fights with intoxicated
individuals than in my previous two
years in a patrol car. I was constantly
responding to a call of a disturbance in
which a drunken person would be
fighting, yelling, or just plain causing
some type of problem. The majority of
people we get into physical altercations
with are under the influence of a
narcotic or alcohol.
Every part of San Diego is a high crime
area; it just depends on what type of
crime. La Jolla has a high theft rate.
City Heights has a high robbery and
prostitution rate. La Jolla can be
construed as a high crime area because
of the thefts occurring there. City
Heights can be called a high crime area
because of the robberies going on there.
The point being is there is no such thing
as a high or low crime area, only higher
or lower numbers of certain crimes in a
particular area.
After five years of riding in a patrol car,
there is no other job like it. There is no
such thing as an average day working on
the beat. Each day you run into
something different or unusual. I get to
meet new and interesting people and
those who aren't so nice or interesting.
My daily life can go from chasing a
speeding car over 100 miles per hour to
being stuck directing traffic. It's an
adventurous job where good deeds give
you satisfaction and bad deeds can
result in lawsuits. Working as a police
officer is a great honor.
Being a police officer in San
Diego also allows you the
opportunity to work in several

members will be
asked again to indicate their
willingness to either give speeches in a
half-hour to one-hour format, or to
speak to the media about topics they
have expertise in. We are hoping that
using one form will simplify the

we have the most up to date information

your eyes open for this survey, and take
the time to fill it out and return it.
Overall, interest from the community
in our speaker's bureau is down. We are
averaging two calls a month.
Previously we were averaging one to
two calls a week. There is a correlation
between our committee size and the
tasks we can accomplish. One task we
have neglected is publicizing our
wonderful Speaker's Bureau to the
public. Our committee is comprised of
three people. We need you for our
committee. We presently meet 10:30 in
the morning on the second Monday of
the month at SDPA, although our
meeting time is not set in stone. Light
duties include being on call for the
month, and matching requests with
speakers. A nice benefit of belonging to
this committee has been getting better
acquainted with our SDPA members.

MOVIE NOTES
Nancy J. Auger, Ph.D.
If you have
enjoyed movies
directed by Tim
Burton, I think
that you'll find
“Big Fish” to be
an appealing
one for you to
view. One critic
has described it
as “A modern day Wizard of Oz”,
which I would tend to agree with, in
its mixture of magical fantasy,
comedy and drama. This film stars
Albert Finney, Ewan McGregor,
Billy Crudup, and Jessica Lange.
develops a tolerance for his
humanity. The last scene is truly
magical, symbolic and touching and
finishes with the phrase, “When a
man tells his stories so many times,
he becomes them and they live after
him, and he becomes immortal.” I
would recommend this film for its
entertainment value and for its
timeless portrayal of the
psychological struggle between
parent and child, which we can all
relate to on some level. I believe that
it is also a good one to recommend
to our clients. Enjoy!

The main plot of this movie revolves
around a father, Edward Bloom
(Albert Finney), who is dying of
cancer and his son's attempt to
discover his “true” father.
Throughout his son's life, Edward
always wove stories of himself that
seemed more like “tall tales”, rather
than the truth. Through colorful
flashbacks, the young Edward (Ewan
McGregor) is depicted as the football
hero, star basketball player, science
whiz, and brave military man. As a
boy, Will believes his Dad's stories,
but as he grows older, the flamboyant
repetition becomes boring and
unbearable, and eventually causes a
big rift in their relationship. Now that
his father is dying and his wife is
pregnant with his own child, it
becomes more important for him to
create a bond and to explore his own
identity through his father.

This movie is filled with wonderful
sequences that include a giant, a
witch, circus performers, Siamese
twins and a huge fish, which help
create the fantasy atmosphere and
make this film unique. The
relationship between Edward and his
wife (Jessica Lange) is very
endearing and stands out as his
greatest accomplishment in his eventfilled life. In the end, I believe that
father and son become more alike
than different. Will learns to
appreciate his storyteller Dad and

NOTE FROM THE WOMAN'S
COMMITTEE:
Two of our goals within the next two
years are to do a community
presentation on pregnancy loss and
to mentor young girls through the
process of college and career
choices.
In September, Drs. Maureen Moss
and Andrea Bernard will be
presenting with Angelica Zaid,
M.D. at Scripps Encinitas on
pregnancy loss and its affects on
women.
I will approach the YMCA for a
possible workshop on a "career day"
in the near future. For this endeavor,
Lisa Braun, Ph.D., has volunteered
to help link us up with some of her
resources. I will be following up
with Lisa's suggestions.
Any woman can join to show
support or help out with the setup of
the “career day” that we are
planning. We are looking for new
members. If you have interest,
please contact me at
[email protected].
