This page is a beginning list of websites with content related to my areas of clinical interest - EMDR, positive psychotherapy, body-based therapy approaches, and the neurophysiology of changes in adaptive behaviors. Other sites are listed because of personal contact, e-mail correspondence, and/or my own frequent use. You may find something extra by just skimming the list and clicking on anything that appeals.
