Jane’s Note: Scott’s website is not accessible when I checked today [August 27th 2010]. I’m not sure whether it is a website problem or if Scott has taken his site offline.
When Scott submitted his article series on therapy appointment to my mental health blog carnival, I excluded his entry from the carnival edition. I wanted to dedicate a post on the article series he had written.
I was impressed by both the comprehensiveness of information Scott shares and the personal approach he takes in writing these articles. Scott’s Finding Your Marbles blog is becoming a unique voice in the mental health blogosphere, and I thank him for sharing his writings with us.
What I’ve done is to give you an outline version of Scott’s article series. You can get an overview of the content that you can expect from each article in the series, and you can visit a specific article that catches your interest.
