All my publications have related to the mental health field. I practiced psychiatry, both inpatient and outpatient, for over fifty years. I taught psychology, social work, and pastoral counseling students in three different universities: Catholic U., Loyola U. and Gonzaga U. I lectured at the National School of Social Services at Catholic U., the Dominican School of Theology for Laymen in N.Y. and the Institute for Mental Health at St. Johns University, Collegeville, MN. I was the Superintendent of a State Psychiatric Hospital and served as Director of a State Mental Health Program for several years. I lectured and participated in mental health workshops throughout the United States and Venezuela. I was a consultant at Child Guidance Clinics, Marriage Counseling Services and the Department of Defense. I have a Ph.D. in Psychology and an M.D. from Georgetown, with specialization in Psychiatry. I was recently quoted in Psychiatric News regarding my professional life: The truth is: psychiatry has been an inspiration to me. Ive learned the depth of sorrow, the breadth of goodness, the delicacy of childhood, the harshness of prejudice, the wickedness of abuse, the bitterness of vengeance, on and on. With compassionate psychotherapy and whatever medicines were appropriate Ive tried to mend damaged lives, lift shattered spirits and bring peace to broken hearts.view less
