Jessica, thank you for your generous welcoming. I hope I may have something to contribute to your forum from time to time. I have for several years, now, been an avid admirer and student of the exciting creativity and powerful usefulness of Control Mastery Theory. I consider Joesph Weiss and his collaborators to be among the truly dedicated and inspired psychoanalysts of this century for many reasons, not the least of which is their having actually performed exemplary empirical validation for their procedures and theories--so exemplary, in fact, that is was found worthy of publication in Scientific American. It feels very good to be welcomed into such company; I hope I may be able to continue to merit the courteous high regard you have just shown me, Jessica.
