Simon Senzon’s latest work is exceptional! I hope this book finds its way across our profession to help dispel myths and falsehoods spread from our colleagues about the Palmers and the Green Books. In the age of “evidence-based” practice this book of “evidence” and facts will help preserve our true professional history and help us realize the incredible work that our founders developed. Kudos to the authors for this fantastic and relevant book!
