Last Saturday 7 November 2010 before Glen spoke to psychiatrists at the Annual Meeting of the Academy, I was obsessively associating Dr. Gabbard with Ron Hubbard. That led me to look farther away into psychosocial modalities of care like Irvin Yalom's group therapies and to Yalom's own contribution to psychological literature.
If you are the meditative type of person you may have a ball reading these:

and
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/schopenhauer/
If you are not the meditative type, you may start getting great experiences in group therapies.
Glen Gabbard........what a great psychotherapy teacher and advocate for just being human! Do not forget to google Glen.
