A very good question.  We have had several discussions about this on the
Net.  It's always worth talking about it, at least to help clarify the
issues.

>I believe Ed Fords work gives us a glimpse of the possibilites.

I think it would be a very good idea to try to figure out why Ed has
succeeded in "selling" PCT as a practical approach to deal with other people
where others have failed (or, at least, had far less success). Maybe Ed has
some ideas.

>Can anybody help ? Or better yet. Is anyone *interested* in helping ?

I am certainly interested in helping. I'm not sure that I can, though. I've
had zero success "selling" PCT to scientific psychologists, but I think there
is more resistance to PCT among people in that group (for obvious reasons)
than among counselors, management consultants and others in "helping" type
professions. Still, individuals in the latter professions do have prior
committments to their often unspoken beliefs about "how people work" so it's
not like they are just waiting to be given PCT on a silver platter.

It's a tough problem. Maybe some other people who are doing "practical
applications" with PCT would be willing to discuss this on the net.
