Maintenance of confidentiality and trustworthiness were also noted as important attributes of consultant selection.   

  

Looking lean and fit seem to play a part in acceptance of these individuals as well.  Obviously, not all consultants will "look the part", but it can be a reality when evaluating use of service. 

 

I have reattached the scanned articles Dr. Lubker graciously attached from another listserve.
