Dear Dick Articles
“The Local Bulletin” is a monthly newspaper that is distributed throughout the western suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. In February 1998 I met Barry Searle, the editor of “The Local Bulletin”. He asked me to write a “Dear Dick” column answering readers queries. I was delighted and took on the task with enthusiasm.
After some time, I changed the format from answering letters to writing articles on some psychological topic that I thought readers would be interested in. From 1998 the “Dear Dick” column has been a regular feature.
In 2006 I decided to compile all the articles into one resource and publish it on the web for the benefit of all. This is the result. All articles are copyright, but may be reproduced without permission providing acknowledgement of the author is given.
