At the annual meeting of the Iowa Psychological Association, he was given a standing ovation. He did more than entertain, with his magical charm and wit, he taught a serious group of psychologists and therapeutic benefit of humor. The audience was drawn to his warmth and humanness and held spellbound by his stories, which were delivered with the smooth flow of a raconteur. I believe that he may have changed the manner in which many psychologists now conduct therapy.
