The Rabid WATCHDOGS<br />
Abuses Within Our Imperfect<br />
World: Reflections of a<br />
Psychotherapist<br />
by Mary D. Morgillo PhD, A.B.M.P.P.<br />
All Dr. Morgillo wanted to do was help people improve their mental<br />
health and overall livelihood, a calling she felt all her life. However,<br />
no one could have prepared her for enduring one of the most trying<br />
times of her life, which not only put her private psychology practice<br />
and reputation in danger, but also her health and sanity. In her<br />
autobiographical work, THE RAPID WATCHDOGS: Abuses within<br />
our Imperfect World, she sheds insight into the shocking growth of<br />
medical fraud investigations that emerged in the late eighties. Several<br />
practitioners were falsely presented to the Medicaid fraud unit by<br />
disgruntled former employees, exacerbated by misleading attorneys and<br />
indifferent court systems.<br />
Trails to and<br />
Tales of<br />
Sanderson,Texas<br />
by Cleo W. Robinson Jr.<br />
AUTHORS PRESS<br />
This is a work manly of fiction. However, many of the stories and<br />
characters are drawn from real life. It is a about life in a small<br />
ranching and railroad town in Southwest Texas just east of the Big<br />
Bend area. For nine months in 1958 and 1959, I had the pleasure<br />
of living in Sanderson, Texas. It was a time between high school<br />
and college that I needed to decide what I wanted to try to do with<br />
my life. Although I was born in a small town, Ionia, Missouri; my<br />
family moved to Springfield, Missouri when I was less than one<br />
year old so I never experienced small town life. Sanderson, Texas<br />
provided that missing ingredient.
