My present psychological fiction novel, “The Looney Bin”, delves into the many ways we humans behave to keep that good impression of ourselves out there while we simultaneously deal with the reality that we're not perfect. It digs into the extremes of denial some people hide in as well as shows how others bravely confront their imperfections and grow.

I am a psychiatrist who has practiced in Connecticut, Florida and Queensland, Australia. My extensive experience working with people with emotional problems led to my non-fiction book, “Say Goodbye to your PDI (Personality Disordered Individual). Recognize People Who Make You Miserable and Eliminate Them from Your Life for Good!” I wrote this book to help many people recognize that they are being guilted as the cause for a loveless, non-gratifying relationship by the other person who manipulates and controls them. With that insight, the suffering person can give up their guilt and go on to live a happy, fulfilling life.

I have held University positions, have written a widely-read news column on mental health, produced a radio call-in show and have appeared on numerous TV and radio programs discussing mental health issues.

Now thriving in sunny, southwest Florida, I’m hoping “The Looney Bin”, a dialog-rich, character-driven novel, not only tells a rich, compelling story, but also brings some enjoyment and perhaps some introspection to my readers.
