FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Originator of THE ENCHANTED SELF is Quoted in Woman's World

Ocean, NJ – August 27, 2003: On August 5, 2003, Dr. Holstein gave advice on rock climbing for a teen-ager, and handling the tantrums of a two-year old in Woman's World magazine.  Over 1,000,000 women a week read this magazine. Both answers appear in the Good Parenting column, which can be seen by going to Dr. Holstein's website page at: http://www.enchantedself.com/mediainquiries.htm.  Look for Dr. Holstein’s ‘Media Kit’ then download, unzip and open it.  Double click onto the “Women’s World 8/03” file to view the column.

Dr. Holstein has taken her vision of psychological well-being and how to achieve a life of meaning and joy to the public and other clinicians for many years.  The energy behind her optimistic and hopeful psychological techniques stem from the insights she discovered in her path finding case study research of women. 

Dr. Holstein has been a psychologist in private practice since 1981.  Through the practice that she shares with her husband, Dr. Russell Holstein, they have created a long overdue shift in psychology by emphasizing “what's right with us, rather than what's wrong”.  She offers a new way of looking at your life ... your own 'enchanted self'.  Her goal is to inspire and encourage each of us to achieve positive states of mind, body, and spirit.  She teaches us how to recall positive memories, regardless of our history, recognize our potential, and bring into our lives more of what gives us pleasure and joy.  This is all combined with daily positive actions.
