Thank you Ted
Appreciate the work Ted.
You are the only place new people can really go for Sartin Methodology works going back to the 1980s. Howard probably cured over 100 problem gamblers. I would be willing to bet no other therapist or doctor has ever, over the course of their entire career, cured more than 20.
Mental health is a tough gig. There are no agreed upon metrics mostly because not having any metrics to measure success means everyone gets a participation trophy and a high paying career. I work with a group called NAMI with nami.org being their website. Having taught classes and run support groups, I can tell you that very few mental health providers ever cure anyone. Ask. Ask what the patient had wrong, what treatment the provider gave them, what was the result, and how did you track the person to see the result really was a permanent cure. They simply won't answer. They can't, they have never cured anyone. People go to them, then do not get results, the patient leaves. That is mental health.
Howard said one of the truest things anyone has ever said, "The cure for losing is winning". He made a second career out of helping people labeled chronic gamblers to regain control over their lives and not be at the whim of losing money gambling. This was a noble purpose and Howard was up to the task and cured more people from this problem than anyone else. Ted keeps the Follow Ups online for people to read. That is a lot of material that does not make him a penny. Hopefully people will realize what a treasure this material is and will use it in the spirit it was written. Curing people from losing by teaching them how to win.
Hats off to you Ted, and thank you.
