Meeting Denis in San Diego, I was immediately struck by his smile and his warmth ... and by how focused he was on every conversation, be it with a waiter, a fellow therapist, a child with cerebral palsy, a parent, or with his mother. He had a way of instantly connecting with people, because he genuinely cared and was curious about everyone he encou...more

When I met Dr. Masgutova at our first conference in MN, I tried to engage her in conversation to see how approachable and open this brilliant and amazing person would be.
