My undergraduate education was at Cornell University from which I received a B.S. degree. My graduate training was at the Graduate Faculties of Columbia University from which I received an M.A. and a Ph.D. I did a clinical internship at the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health in Manhattan, New York. I then was a staff psychologist at the Manhattan Veterans Administration Hospital in Manhattan. Since 1971 I have been in private practice in Rockland County, New York.
