Articles

I’ve written over 200 articles and have been able to digitize the older ones and find online links for the newer pieces.  I’ve listed a few titles under each category, but you can also click on the category titles — Health & Lifestyles, Relationships, etc — to see additional pieces. 

More than just samples of my work, many of the articles from decades past are still relevant. At the very least, they provide a yardstick for how attitudes have changed and how much more we now know about dealing with medical and psychological problems or handling particular social and family issues. Some show how far we’ve come. Sadly, others reveal how much more we need to do.
