Hi all. The previous version needed to be replaced, so much so that I decided to write the article myself, although I've never done it before. I wanted to put something new up right away, so what is there now is quite provisional. I'm a slow writer and not an expert, so the writing and research for a full article (from me) will take a while.

I also haven't quite figured out some of the stylistic conventions, especially for the endnotes and how detailed they have to be. It's been a while since I had to write anything with footnotes.

Note to Jack-a-Roe: Thanks a million or the edits and for keeping an eye on this. I really appreciate it. And proud to have it regarded as having gone beyond the "stub" stage!

I would take issue with one edit: reinstating that last paragraph, which I deleted on purpose. The Phyllis Chesler quote is a link to a blurb on the cover of the paperback edition, which seems a bit dicey, and the quote itself is a kind of over-the-top. I tried to deal with the importance and reputation of of the book more soberly by saying "it is considered a classic and ground-breaking work" (although the reference for this is an out-of-print Publisher's Weekly article quoted on the Amazon.com page for Trauma and Recovery! Not much better than a blurb, but it was surprisingly hard to find a source that could be used to back up the well-known fact of the book's reputation and influence. I'm not even sure if it's necessary, but I can imagine the people who think of her as a purveyor of "pseudoscience" challenging any positive remarks about her work.)

The fact that she was interviewed for that UC at Berkely series doesn't seem to be of any particular significance, and in any case I cite it in the footnotes and the links section. I'll be using it a lot more, it's very useful.
