Biographical Sketch
I graduated from Kenyon College in Ohio and received my Master's and Doctorate in Psychology (Clinical) from Loyola University of Chicago. I completed an American Psychological Association-approved internship in Child and Adult Clinical Psychology at Tulane Medical School Department of Neurology and Psychiatry. My undergraduate education was at Kenyon College in Gambier Ohio, where I double majored in Psychology and in Anthropology/Sociology. I also read for Honours at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. I am the co-author or co-editor of eight books, numerous peer-reviewed publications, and reviews for several journals and publishers. Additionally, I am the author or co-author of two published psychological tests.
