From 2008 through 2014, I wrote more than 30 articles, entitled “Obsessive Ruminations,” as a column for the San Gabriel Valley Psychological Association (SGVPA). I am planning on collecting them into a book form with a title like, “Obsessive Ruminations on Depth Psychotherapy.” In the meantime, please feel free to take a look at these.
