On Healing 1/15/2010: How Dan Gottlieb and Teddy Pendergrass helped each other
Monday, January 15, 2010 I first met Teddy Pendergrass in 1983, a year after his accident. He had just been released from rehab, and called my office for therapy. He was feeling hopeless and didn’t think he wanted to live. I didn’t tell him that it had been just four years since the accident in […]

Dear Dan, Today I found my 4-year-old daughter naked from the waist down and a 5-year-old male friend of hers (clothed) together upstairs. I told her to put on her clothes and come downstairs. I was a little upset, but not angry. She later told me he wanted to play “butt check” and touched her […]
On Healing 10/12/2009: Agony, anger in child’s suicide abates – with time
