Dear Daniel Macker, LCSW My name is Pascale Dellefield,LMFT I am a colleague in your field, and an artist with a recently published book , that I have written and illustrated titled \"Being With Heart\". My mission statement is \" A peace in healing the world emotionally\" and my company name is Health and Peace Greetings. I have also registered by own trademark with the US Trademark office. The reason I am mentioning all this is that it appears to me that we have a great deal in common. I am not afraid to speak up and do what I can to find ways to reach out to others to increase their awareness. I find that we are living in a time when consciousness is shifting, more people are interested in mindfulness practices, yoga, exercise, and holistic practices. i have been meditating for 7 years, and work in a managed care setting looking at authorizing services for the most severely and chronically ill patients. i am determined at not objectifying them, and keeping my heart of compassion open and advocating for them in a manner that is client centered. I have on numerous occasions found myself speaking out alone and no one to support me, and yet being thanked in the corridors, where no one important can really hear, for my compassion and passion for the clients. I would really like it if you took the time to look at the book that i have created. The illustrations are child like, and the text is very simple, perhaps even abstract, and yet has a great deal of depth. I am going to forward your article to my husband Ken Dellefield, Ph.D. who would very much appreciate it. He is very client centered and strong advocate of non-coercive methods regarding the client. He is also one who does not fear to speak up and speaks from a compassionate heart and one that is linked with the patient\'s best interest even when situations get complicated and are in crisis mode, he is not one to quickly jump to breach confidentiality out of his own fear. Thanks again Daniel for a beautifully written comprehensive well laid out article. Gratefully, Pascale Dellefield, LMFT San Diego, California
