Dear Peter,
Call me the skeptic mentioned below, but when I read such things as the following quote from the website you mention, I get worried.
"Streicher’s book spells it all out — the research, the findings, the clinical proof, and the impact his discoveries could have on several professions...Streicher always wanted and tried to share his work. We believe from experience that anyone who approaches this new body of information with an open mind and a willingness to accept change will be highly rewarded as we have. We also would love to see open-minded researchers pursue with more rigor the line of thought that Streicher has developed. And we encourage skeptics to replicate any of Streicher’s studies."
My cursory look at the website seemed mainly designed to get me to buy the book, not give me the secret of Streicher's work. (Maybe I missed the important link.) I don't dismiss any *new* approach out of hand--wholistic, spiritual, unconventional--but I am always a skeptic, nonetheless. How else can a clinician differentiate credible approaches from those that are "too good to be true." Therefore, I don't think I'll buy the book just now.
Thanks just the same.
Ken
