Not sure what to say?

Time after time, I think of Paul gratefully as a most remarkable clinician. His knowledge and ability to share it remains applicable and valuable and ever humane, empowering me to help others. Thank you for sharing him.

I remember Paul from a short seminar done for myself and fellow teachers who work with troubled students. Paul had a powerful effect on me through his stories, creativity, and personal presence. I was actually just looking him up to see if he's accepting new clients because I wanted to talk to him again, he was that powerful for me. He is missed.

With shock, disbelief and great sadness, I just learned of Paul's death.
He has been and remains an integral part of my life. On a brief trip from Alabama to Boston in June 2008 we had lunch in Cambridge; it was the last time I saw him.

Paul Gerson was a good man and a good friend. I think of him often

Lani, Ky and Sienna... i can not believe almost 2 years have gone by since Paul passed.. i still think of Paul often, and miss him a lot! I find myself re reading the guest book around this time of year the last couple of years. i still get choked up by the outpouring of love in this book. Paul touched a lot of lives in many ways. i hope your memories are strong and your healing continues. With all my love, Chuck

Paul was brought into my clinic as a "consultant" back in the 70's. He provided guidance, knowledge and challenge to a staff of eager newbies. His work still resonates in us; his memory alive and at work.

Lani,Kyree,and Sienna,
I´m here for you! I will stay in touch!

Paul
For my "Brother from another Mother"! What does one say to a loved brother? That you helped me become the person I am today. You were the best clinician that ever trained me and I thought that was all there was going to be. We went on to teach each other through the years. You shall always be with me. We were different but so alike! Until that time Bro!

Dear Dr. Gerson,

Heaven is a better place with you in it, and that big faculty meeting in the sky will be forever entertained with your wit and wisdom. Thank you for your boundless patience, your California spirit, and your love of the human mind, warts and all.
