Dr
Ware has offered: "For centuries throughout
man's history, he has attempted to define human success
as the presence of pleasure and/or the absence of
pain. When one learns how to embrace all of one's
heart and soul, Fear and Anger are naturally transformed
into Love and Gratitude. It doesn't take long to go
from seeing beauty elsewhere in the world to being
a part of Life's wonderment yourself."
"Although the diagnostic process of labeling
human angst has potential professional value, I have
rarely if ever seen diagnosis be an effective intervention
tool. It has more often appeared to serve as a validation
tool for the explanation of continued angst and misery."
Dr. Ware is an Emory University fully trained child, adolescent,
adult and family Psychiatrist with over 29 years of
experience in private practice.
Dr. Ware
has served as a consultant to business and industry. He has

along with the complex issues of physical, emotional and sexual

Although
an experienced consultant/clinician cannot make effective
recommendations to a client without a full understanding of all
relevant issues and utilizing a general comment or suggestion,
in lieu of a comprehensive formal evaluation, can in itself be
unwise, Dr. Ware is willing to respond to some general questions
that interested parties may submit. Inquirers are strongly
encouraged to find an experienced clinician they are comfortable
with to fully explore complex issues.
No answer
from Dr. Ware should be construed nor is it intended to replace
a comprehensive evaluation by an experienced clinician.
You may
email your questions directly to
DrJimPat@aol.com. Response times vary with the volume of
questions but may be expected usually within a week and most
often much more quickly. Thank you in advance for your interest.
There are
many talented, well trained, experienced, wise clinicians “out
there.” I strongly encourage those seeking answers and/or
assistance in enhancing the quality of their lives to seek out a
well-screened clinician that you can communicate with well and
proceed.
It is
imperative, however, just as in the seeking of information from
any source, that the person seeking the information, advice or
counsel must exercise good judgment and perhaps even caution. It
is the experience and opinion of this clinician that credentials
alone do not define ability. “Buyer be smart.” Dr. Ware
recommends extreme caution in allowing a third party (such as
health insurance companies or managed care companies) that has a
financial interest in clients not accessing health care to
choose with whom the client works. |
