Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I am delighted that you found the Strupp-Bergin review of interest.

It is particularly important that a person like yourself who is
sophisticated about the scientific issues--apart from an “official”
concern as a member of the National Advisory Mental Health Council--be
aware of activity in the area of psychotherapy research. I am glad
you also enjoyed the "Psychotherapy Research: Volume III".

Since the bibliography will not be available in print for some time, I
have contacted Dr. Strupp and asked him to send you a copy directly.
« You should be receiving this from him soon.

Perhaps you have heard that I am leaving NIMH soon to become chairman
of the Department of Psychiatry at State University of New York, Upstate
Medical Center at Syracuse. However, I feel confident that the Branch
will continue to push the research program in this crucial area.

Cordially,

Donald Oken, M. D. j <\ 7
