I was promised promotion to be a Full Professor, had I not relocated to Arkansas. I have still been maintained

NPI: 133*******

MY PROVEN STRENGTHS:

No Suicides. No patient I have treated, or who was treated by a Psychiatry Resident or Fellow

I was supervising, has ever killed themselves or anyone else.

No patient I have treated has ever even talked about suing me for malpractice.

I have never been censured or rejected by any medical, governmental, or insurance organization.

MY LIMITATIONS:

I have not been trained in child/adolescent psychiatry. I did extra-curricular work half-time

during my senior year of medical school at an exceptional adolescent residential facility.

Later I was the consultant for a psychiatry Home Visiting Service for which I saw many adolescents. I have also spent three months working exclusively treating adolescents on the Autism Spectrum. So I have much more experience than most adult-trained psychiatrists,

enough that I now feel competent to treat adolescents age thirteen and older but not young children.

Education:

Medical School:

U, M.D. Degree, 1968, 420 E. Superior Avenue, Chicago, Il 60611 [9/1964 to 6/1968]. I did neurobiological research, took two, three month medical school externships in psychiatry, and sought out experience working at an adolescent residential treatment center, all while still in medical school.

Undergraduate:

University of Colorado, Boulder [9/1961 to 8/1964], 1480 S. 30th Street, Boulder, CO 80303.

I majored in history, biology, and chemistry and was accepted for a highly selective, prestigious program at Northwestern University Medical School to begin after only three years of college. Of those medical schools which admitted students after just three years of college, Northwestern was the best medical school in the country. My college MCAT scores placed me in the top 7% of Northwestern’s entering class, even though the vast majority of the class had four years of undergraduate work, some at Ivy League colleges.

Bachelor of Medical Sciences Degree from Northwestern University, 1965, 633 Clark Street, Evanston Il 60208, [9/1964 to 6/1965], given to the three year college students after the first year of their medical studies].

Internship:

Herrick Memorial Hospital, [7/1968 to 6/1969. Rotating Six Internship: six months of psychiatry/neurology and six months of medicine, 2001 Dwight Way, Berkeley,

California 94720.

Psychiatry Training:

First year of residency, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, [7/1969 to 6/1970],

1635 Aurora Court, Aurora, CO 80206.

Second and third years, Mount Zion Hospital & Medical Center, [7/1970 to 6/1972], 1600 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, CA 94115. [The Mt. Zion residency was cited then, along with Harvard's program, to be the two best psychodynamically oriented residencies in the country.]

After completion of residency training, I was selected to supervise residents as a Mt. Zion Staff Psychiatrist. That was soon expanded to include treating patients in the Emergency Room. Two years later, I was promoted to become the Director of Training for all Emergency Psychiatry Services provided by the Mount Zion Hospital & Medical Center, [6/1976 to 4/1980, medical school affiliated] and the/Westside Mental Health Center, 1600 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, CA 94115.

Fellowship:

Psychoanalytic/Advanced Psychotherapy Training, 1986, The Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Aurora, CO 80045. Nine years of half time training,] It was half-time because, unlike other Fellowships, there was no salary, and we had to pay for our psychoanalyses. So we needed the other half-time to make a living.] eventually becoming the only Training & Supervising Psychoanalyst in the Arkansas-Oklahoma area, most of the Mid-South, and the Rocky Mountain Region, outside Denver-Boulder [9/1976-6/1986].

[Psychiatrists have usually had three, sometimes four, years of psychiatric training. Counting

the my one year of extra-curricular clinical work in medical school, six months of neurology/psychiatry in my internship, three years of residency, and nine years of half time clin-ical Fellowship, I have had nine years of clinical training, three times the usual, and I received that training from excellent programs. I have also had the honor and the experience of directing two, major medical school psychotherapy training programs, which gave me the opportunity to learn even more. At Mt. Zion, I co-taught with famed analyst Erik H. Erikson, who had been part of Freud’s inner circle. He emigrated to teach at Harvard and wrote award-winning books, including on the lifelong course of emotional development.

Forensic Psychiatry Training: part-time seminars given by my colleague, the President Elect, of the main forensic organization, the American Academy of Psychiatry & the Law [1988 to 1989].

Where I stand at this point in my career:

Looking back: I feel very good about my career in psychiatry. I am just as excited about patients

I am seeing now, as I was after seeing my first psychiatric patient in medical school years ago.

I feel especially good at having helped thousands of my fellow human beings with their psychiatric, forensic, and/or substance abuse problems.

I have been able to adapt to the considerable and ongoing changes in clinical psychiatry, growing in new directions. But I have always practiced within the bounds of what I have come to know well, foregoing attractive, often lucrative, pursuits for which I have not felt fully prepared. I have never tried to maximize my earnings, treating some patients for as little as one dollar for each full session, multiple times each week for years.

I have taught hundreds of Fellows, Psychiatric Residents, Psychology, and Post-Masters Clinical Social Work students, many of whom had received earlier training from the most outstanding programs. A number have gone on to become practicing physicians, analysts, and clinical social workers. And, in teaching them, they have taught me. As have my numerous, often superb, professors.

I have tried to clearly document the insights the field provided in numerous presentations, articles, a book, and a DVD.

Looking ahead:

I am committed to continue working and studying hard, to do my best to maintain this high quality of work for the next five years or more. I have no desire to retire. I still very much enjoy my work.
