My academic career began with a Master of Arts in Teaching from Harvard in 1969, followed by a Ph.D. in Psychology from NYU in 1978, and completion of the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis in 2005. My career, for the past 45 years, began with psychiatric hospital work, followed by private practice with adults in both New Jersey and New York, as well as individual and group supervision. I have also supervised a large number of psychologists in training.
