WELCOME to my site concerning APD. There are a variety of sites dedicated to APD, some by professionals and some by non-professionals. For the most part they intend to educate or profess a certain orientation to APD. Some are excellent family support sites (e.g., the NCAPD, which I encourage people to visit). Others are designed to help "sell" something. Hence, there are biases that may be related to personal experience, a desire for profit, or a professional treatment position. I have created this site to be as straightforward and unbiased as possible. I provide some basic facts about APD. Indeed, although I try to be impartial, my own biases do creep in. After reviewing all or part of the information at this site you are welcome to call or email me. I attempt to return my contacts as soon as possible, but I am quite busy so please be patient.
