Hi Wesley: As a trained counsellor (with a Master's degree), & now a writer, life coach & group facilitator, this article brings up so many issues! Yes, HMO structure is responsible for much of what's going on I'm sure. In my EAP work there was a limited number of sessions, that was different from the way I was used to working in a large agency with problem gamblers.

But I really think people want a 'quick fix', as was mentioned later in the article. They live in the fast lane & have bought into the idea that change happens in the blink of an eye. We're all works in progress & will be until we die!

Thanks for all the good stuff you're putting up.
