Great post Stanton, thanks again for sharing your ideas. I'm becoming a fan of your blog and am reading through the 'back issues' now.

I'd be interested in links to some of the ideas you bring up. This struck me particularly in this blog because of your mention of Motivational Interviewing. Can you suggest a good reference for this? I'd like to learn more.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with us all.
