Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Michlovitz’s Modalities for Therapeutic Intervention, 7e AB - Several years ago, I was sitting in my office mid to late one afternoon working on something that at this moment I cannot remember. But what I do recall is a phone call I received. “Hello Jim, this is Sue Michlovitz.” While I do not recall my exact words of reply, I am pretty confident my thoughts were something along the line of “Sure it is.” Why in the world would Sue Michlovitz be calling me? We had never met nor crossed paths, at least that I was aware. Then Sue told me, as if I didn’t already recognize her name, that she had a textbook on therapeutic modalities. She then asked if I had ever heard of the book. I quickly responded that not only had I heard of the text, but I used it in my undergraduate studies and still had my first edition copy on my bookshelf. After a chuckle and thanking me for making her feel old, Sue told me she was looking for someone to help her edit a pending fifth edition. Sue told me that she had become familiar with me and my work in therapeutic modalities. She said she liked the way I explained and taught electrotherapy and wanted to see if I was interested in working with her on the next edition of her text. Little did Sue know that I had been contemplating the idea of writing a textbook on electrotherapy but had not gotten far. After further consideration I decided that rather than write my own textbook on electrotherapy I would accept Sue’s offer, take her mentorship and guidance, and do my part to continue the legacy of her title into a fifth edition.
