All of those who knew John Roman and George Engel and those not lucky enough to meet them, are indebted to the authors of this absolutely splendid book for bringing alive an experiment in psychiatry that succeeded so well and proved such a shining example for our field and for medical education. This book is a happy illustration of what scholarship and literary skill can contribute to the understanding of how to care for our patients and how to teach students to improve their skills.

I'm looking for the 'HDS Group for Animals'. Are they still around? Do(es) 'they' (s/he) still exist.
My last contact info is 2005, when they appeared once at Memorial Church, and once advocating for corporate responsibility towards animals.
Could you help me locate them, a URL, or any contact persons?

Social Networking and Social Media are going to lighten my extraneous personal load now that I've sorted out how to tweak out and eke out efficiencies by linking them and using them in concert with one another.

Please 'friend' me everywhere, on all social media, and link with me everywhere.
