I hold the rank of Professor Emeritus of Applied Psychology at NYU. I am a developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst and provide parent guidance.
I have worked in all areas of the media: TV, radio, and print. In addition to having hosted eponymous radio programs on ABC Talkradio, I have worked as a feature reporter on WABC TV’s Eyewitness News and WCBS TV’s Channel 2 News as well as held positions as resident psychologist on CBS TV’s Early Show and NBC TV’s Weekend Today show.
I served as an Advisory Board member at The Future of Children (Princeton University and Brookings Institution) and currently serve as a Consulting Editor for the National Association for the Education of Young children among other affiliations. Formerly, a Contributing Editor and Columnist at Ladies’ Home Journal and Family Circle magazines, I am also the author of books for children, parents, and professionals.
I participate in Webinars on work-life balance, child development, and parenting and disseminate information to the public on psychoanalytic ideas. I provide clinical consultation to psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapists.
