This is the subject that I learned and now reviewing, so that I can offer some Shorthand lessons maybe or even write a story or even a novel using this form of writing. There was a very old magazine called 'The Shorthand Writer' I think that was what it was called, and all their stories were written in Gregg shorthand minus the advertisements.
There is a group on Facebook.com called Shorthand readers and writers where I got this image. I asked the group if it were possible to start a magazine like that now. The leader said that there really is not enough people out that knows this skill now to bother and it would probably be very expensive. Anyway, to be again it would be like solving mysteries and fun. Another idea I had there were several old novels that were written in Gregg shorthand, and I wanted and still am interested in translating old public domain novels into shorthand and if I could get it published still giving the original author credit and the shorthand credit to me. Doing this kind of writing would be fun and interesting and who knows could create an interest in learning Gregg shorthand for other than just business.

Genograms Assessment and Interventions
'Genograms Assessment and Interventions' is a textbook for counselors, therapists and other related professions. The textbook is written by Monica McGoldrick, Randy Gerson, and Sueli Petry. This book will show you how to make a genogram while learning the terminology and the symbols that go into your project with individual and group clients. The reader will learn to listen more effectively to a person or family history to get to the nitty gritty of the issues and problems that are affecting individuals and families. Chapter 10 was my favorite for it dealt with Play therapy to do with children and parents as well as with the geriatric patients. This was a textbook that was included in the intensive one-week course entitled 'Introduction to Marriage and Family'. In that course I only read what was pertinent to my final project, but in re-reading the textbook now it was a fascinating book for it covered many famous people throughout history.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I took Shorthand during the same semester I took Typing Class, but I could not tell you the first thing I learned with it. I did, however, learn to type well and correctly, and that has endured through all my professions and writing endeavors.
Wow, I would struggle reading shorthand. Good article!
