He graduated co-valedictorian from Warsaw High School; then he went to MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Ill. for three years before being accepted to Univ. of Iowa, University of Ill, and St. Louis University Medical schools. He chose to go to St. Louis Univ. for medical school, and then to Michael Reese in Chicago for one year of a medical internship and his basic three year adult psychiatric residency training. In 1971, after two years in the Air Force, he set up a private practice in Phoenix, Arizona. Because of the rapid turn over of patients in his office, an outcome of the use of rapid relief principles, he decided to extend the nature of his practice by taking a two year child fellowship at UCLA. It was there where he met Dr. Gary Emery whom he later collaborated with to write the original Rapid Relief from Emotional Distress. Dr. Campbell has a revision of the first book Rapid Relief from Emotional Distress Revised; this book Psychological Therapy in a Pharmacological World: a book intended for physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists or counselors, and a third book Teachers and Mental Health: The art of accurate speech and other ways to help students not become psychiatric patients intended for teachers and parents is in the final stages.view less
