  GrahamClayton: Denise Frick is a South African IM and FIDE Instructor. She is a qualified counselling psychologist, and here is the thesis that she did on the role of chess as a therapeutic tool to aid in the treatment of substance abuse:

http://upetd.up.ac.za/thesis/availa...

Nov-20-12  waustad: She seemed to revel in the limelight when she did the press conference after her loss to Humpu Koneru, who didn't come to talk about the game. She was on chesstv a lot and was photographed often by various we entities.

That's her doctoral dissertation; the thesis about chess as a therapeutic tool is her Master's thesis:

https://repository.up.ac.za/bitstre...

Feb-06-19  wtpy: Hey Bubo and Zanzibar, Had managed to find her PhD on pdf but not her master's; Google apparently is not as much my friend as yours. Thanks for the help!
Feb-06-19  zanzibar: Thanks for the correction <Bubo bubo>.

Ha. Looks like I used the wrong cliche too, it should've been this one...

"Google is your friend - if you know how to use it right!"

File under - a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Anyways, all well that ends well.

(Google searching on the actual title of the masters thesis brings it up)
