“When I first met Paul many years ago in 1972, his journey was just beginning. In fact, he had a very long way to go,” writes Arthur E. Dell Orto, PhD. “I can vividly recall my first meeting with an unkempt, hardened criminal and drug abuser who happened to find his way to Project Discovery.
“… In one of our early meetings, Paul asked me what he had to change. My response was ‘everything.’ The way you think and act, how you feel about and see yourself, and most importantly, your values. This would not be an easy road or a pleasant one. Over the years, Paul began to increase his successes and limit the impact of his failures. Or as we in psychology prefer to say, ‘effectively cope with the consequences of his choices.’
“Fortunately, Paul was able to negotiate the complexities and challenges which were part of life on the street, life during rehabilitation, and life as a normal person. ‘Assumed Armed and Dangerous’ creates a realistic perspective about life under the influence and the consequences for living on the edge. In reading this manuscript, I realized that ‘being well’ is not easy and that the most important lesson is that we as people can become well, attain great heights despite ourselves, if we access positive role models and resources.”
