Bio

My two areas of interest are the psychiatric treatment of HIV patients, and the programmatic aspects of Day Treatment programs for the chronic severely mentally ill patients. I have a particular interest in prevention of HIV infection in high risk populations, such as the mentally ill. I also have interest in the practice and supervision of psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy.
