These books that sit in my library at home have been collected over some thirty years. Some I have read several times, some I have glanced through more superficially. The purpose of logging this library is for interested parties to help connect with me as we may have been influenced by the same books. Persons wishing to connect with me with regard to issues listed in ‘Psychological Services’ will get an idea of where I’m coming from.
