Dear Ms. Perina,
I have read your magazine for years and wish many more people would read it, eliminating many of the myths, fallacies, and stigmas surrounding mental health treatment. Thank YOU.
I would like to point out a couple things in regard to your Sep/Oct 2012
issue. On page 14, you used the term "extraversion". While not
completely incorrect, the more widely used and accepted version is "extrOversion". Maybe I am missing something, so please let me know
if that was intentional for some reason.
I would also like to address Dr. Markman's blog post (Ulterior Motives) where he predicts clinician/s will "tailor learning strategies and behavior change techniques TO INDIVIDUALS" in the future. I am afraid Dr. Markman is a little behind the power curve (and times) if he is not already applying those tools in therapy. We have been providing individualized, tailored learning strategies and behavior change techniques for years, so I am not sure what the good doctors point may have been.
Finally, please publish a piece on the negative stigma attributed to mental health treatment in the military. 19 heroes die every day to suicide because if it. Maybe we can save a few lives by addressing the stigma now rather than later.
Thank YOU for your time and consideration.
