Fred-
Sorry for the delay in getting something back to you for the conference. I'm so delighted to be attending this year. Please list my presentation as an open discussion on the topic: "Addiction: The Collapse of Complexity". The open forum will provide an opportunity to explore addictive patterns as an expression of an erosion of functional complexity. Those in attendance will share ideas about the processes and patterns inherent in all types of addiction and share thoughts about how to best work clinically with addicted patients by encouraging systemic change that incorporates increased levels of complexity.
Hope that works for you. Thanks so much.

Ah me: An image credit/link longer than an abstract. Works for me.
