Dear Dr. Cooperman & Sister Charlene,

You have managed to provide in your well written in a compact form a lot of information about your therapy. I was especially pleased that "Please note that success in therapy is not necessarily defined as "fluency"; rather it is defined as effective communication, making certain that the people we talk to understand the meaning of our messages."

Now my impertinent :-) question: Having what I consider the best therapy e.g. truly holistic therapy format, what are your rates of "success" at therapy. I feel somewhat bad about asking this question because there are some charlatans that bandy about success rates that are beyond at least my comprehension. Yet I am interested to know what can we expect as a result of outstanding therapy.

I know that in some instances the therapy does not run its course because of factors outside your control, such as parental intransigence. :-)

Gunars
