Hi

I am also conducting a study with the same ambition and purpose - to further and improve the knowledge and practice of treating people suffering from the clustered symptoms diagnosed presently as PTSD (I have some objections to the classification and the approach taken by the scientific community).

I have no personal experience making me a valid subject to study, but I would be glad to offer help of other kind - I could use both being and having a sounding board and someone to exchange thoughts and views with, the more and the more diverse the better.

I am caught in the dilemma of having to seek and find data in a country and a system I do not know much about. I am a Swede, and came to US only a few years ago. It is hard when you are not yet a resident to get access to data, especially data of such personal kind as this.

Anyhow, if anyone would like to help me or seek help from me...I am here. Mail me on voize.undefined@gmail.com, chat me up on eirann77@hotmail. com on MSN or continue the exchange here - where ever you feel comfortable with.

I also would like to hear your thoughts on a specific aspect of the PTSD diagnose I have some issues with. But I will keep it to myself until I feel I am not intruding with it by posting it here and now.

Thanks for coming together for the benefit of us all

Liza
