My guest, Major Maria Kimble, LCSW, opens up a world that few of us in the field of mental health can imagine. Learn what it's like doing psychotherapy in intensive combat zones under fire in outposts in Afghanistan. Hear why she became a parachutist in order to bring out the best in herself as a therapist in the 82nd Airborne Division. Find out what it's like to be what she calls "a petite woman" in the army and in combat. Learn, once again, how empathic therapy is the best therapy under any and all conditions. Major Kimble is an inspiring combination of wisdom, care and courage.

She has worked within the educational system, and outside the system as well, for more than thirty-six years promoting what's really good for children and adults while speaking out courageously about the harm caused by psychiatric drugs and diagnoses.
