Barbara Fajardo's (2003) negative response to the author's review of Arnold Goldberg's book Being of Two Minds (Friedman, 2002) includes the accusation that he has misread the book. Her proof for this apparently is based on her view of Goldberg's ideas derived from a participation in the group that produced this volume. In his response, the author maintains that his independent and critical reading cannot be dismissed as a misreading; rather, it is a reading that reveals fundamental differences in his approach to clinical work with the types of patients described in this text.
