I go to such autobiographical lengths in order to 1) elucidate the background from which my educational "growth" model and approach to therapy was derived (as opposed to the medical "cure" model: aside from my two internships in New York at Goldwater Hospital and New York University Medical Center, all of my training in counseling and psychotherapy was acquired in educational settings), 2) indicate that I bring to my here and now practice of teaching, therapy and supervision the sum of my past experiences, and 3) obviate my difficulty with describing my therapy orientation. Most of my post-doctoral training has been in Transactional Analysis (primal, regressive, inner-child work and re-parenting), Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Psychosynthesis, Hakomi and Imago Relationship Therapy. What I can say right now is: I am a psychoanalytically-oriented, experiential, existential, developmentally and psychodynamically-focused eclectic!
