Way to go doc! Refreshing! I have been away from listening to most psychologists and psychology. I enjoyed this book-talk because I saw that he was more relevant and practical in his "language and situationsor events". I am saw much of what he says as reality and not theory I am tempted to go out and get their book. I think this way of presenting pschological ideology... As a Native American psychotherapist I see and work with the ramifications of the old school psychology and its effects on all peoples especially Native Americans.
