Re: Thank you and God bless!

Drs. Matalon et al.:

Many thanks for helping me decide on a thesis topic for my Master's of Social Work research project. I am a "lowly" first-year student at CA State University, San Bernardino's Social Work Department and the only Jew in my class. (It certainly isn't Beverly Hills in this area so far east of Los Angeles.) You have helped me integrate the frustration of launching a second career late in life with the satisfaction of launching my first one in my 20s with a narrative approach to spirituality and esthetics at Yale with a Ph.D. Yes, there is a reason for my suffering, and your article has planted hope once again that ego integrity, as Erikson described it, is possible. God willing, I have the chance to give to my patients or clients as a social worker what you have given to yours. Todah rabbah v'kol toov. Trudy (Tova) Lapin
