NOTED IN NOVEMBER:

With the trip and the APA presentation, the most relevant focus of
my/our contribution is applying the neuroscience of fear to medical
and mental health. Compassion fatigue is a form of traumatization
that is facilitated through our empathic senses. Fear, experienced
either directly through our own sense of protection or indirectly
through our empathic response to others, is the same and only the
intensity affects stress levels.
Most of the content will focus on skill building to develop resilience
muscle to counteract the impact of fear and discussing the primary
and secondary fear-related stress management to enhance
resilience. Also I would like to discuss my recently ( in the year prior
to APA convention in Aug 2013 ) published books.
My heart goes out to all my dear friends in Israel who ave done so
much for New Orleans, this region and throughout the world.
Tell me the word count for the abstract.
Charles
