Morton Plant to work among the Afar people in Ethiopia treating
TB, malaria and AIDS. She has written a book about her

Lynda
Gurvitz, PhD An
update on Ecstasy
Rising,
the 2004 documentary by Peter Jennings
Mr.
Jennings reported ecstasy (MDMA) as a nightmare for drug
controllers in 2002 because of its popularity among young people.
Much has changed, owing to the "Rave Act" and the
recent need to treat PTSD among soldiers returning from the wars.
Dr. Gurvitz is a clinical psychologist, practicing many
years in Largo.

discuss it.
