Misinformation Versus Facts About the Contributions of Richard A. Gardner,M.D.

This document has been prepared to provide corrections for certain misrepresentations and misperceptions of some of my contributions. Some of these originated from conflicts in the legal arena, where attorneys frequently select out-of-context material in order to enhance their positions in courts of law. This is the nature of the adversary system, and it is one of the causes of the controversy that sometimes surround my contributions. Some of these misperceptions and misrepresentations have become so widespread that I considered it judicious to formulate this statement.
