Jules M Rothstein


      I said that working on motion alone, without considering the patient’s real needs, was a form of “professional masturbation.”

     "We should welcome the opportunity for growth and development and realize the collective power we can exert if we respect each other and place the good of others before our own self-interests."

    " I also believe a common trait of all good therapists is a belief system that is hopeful and not fearful and a faith that leads one to think of the possibilities, and not the limitations."

     "Those who provide substandard care create an image that could, in the end, destroy our profession. If we allow them to define who we are, then our critics are right when they say we are overeducated, overpaid technicians claiming to be professionals."



    "Publication is the traditional means to determine whether faculty remain competent and knowledgeable, and chair persons should be setting an example."

    "Too often, ill-equipped faculty without publication records oversee required student research in what I consider to be a voyeuristic approach to scholarship."


     "Unless we choose to base practice on evidence and the most credible data available, we mock those who have sacrificed to make our profession possible."


    "If we listen to life’s rhythms and we act on our good intentions, we can do anything. We can journey through life making liars of the cynics and visionaries of the hopeful. We can journey to the horizon and look to a new world."
