Linking the Past to the Future: A Response to Franzen's Essay
No full textFor me, Franzen’s article resurfaced some of the historical factors in the early days of the development of CPE. At some level, it resurrected the education vs. therapy debate.

Without shared context and at least some willingness to be in real dialogue, authenticity becomes a poor substitute for authority, and we arrive at a place where one person’s “fake news” is another person’s authenticated journalism.
