Magazine and Newsletter Articles
|
| Since 1982,
I've published hundreds of articles on health, mental
health, and psychology in a wide range of magazines and newsletters. Recently, my work
has appeared in Self, Psychology Today, Consumers Digest, and GreenWise, to name just a few. The following titles offer a
small (fat-free, no-cal, 0-carb) taste of the diverse topics I've
covered over the years.
