It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to read this commentary, and to comment upon it. In an interdisciplinary field, everyone benefits from feedback, especially when it arises out of routine application, as occurs in clinical practice or teaching. My main regret in recent years, in fact, is that so few people who have taken the trouble to read and use our work have bothered to send us their comments, especially when they are published in working papers of limited circulation. It is more than a matter of the normal academic courtesies: there is less likelihood of permanent misrepresentation, and more chance of real progress in our understanding of this complex field. the present venture thus represents a step in the right direction, which I have found most helpful -and which I hope will be of general interest. I shall first provide brief comments on Connolly's (C's) points, following his numbering, and then make a few general remarks.
