Dr. Eric Plakun Running for APA Area 1 Trustee
According to Dr. Plakun, “As the field drifts toward a biomedical model, with 15-minute med checks becoming a frequent practice model, I hope to bring a solid biopsychosocial perspective to the Board of Trustees, representing Area 1, born out of my training, practice, and senior leadership roles at Riggs over the past 30 years, as well as my ongoing involvement and leadership in the APA and organized psychiatry.” >>Read more

Praise for Psychotherapy and Personal Change:
Every patient in psychotherapy wonders, what is my therapist thinking? In this book Ahron Friedberg, an experienced therapist, shares his thoughts and feelings that arise during psychotherapy sessions with his patients. This is an unusual book. It is not about case histories, nor psychopathology, nor the process of psychotherapy per se, although each of these is discussed. Its focus is on the therapist’s mind; his thoughts about his patients and their problems; but also about himself, his career, and his life. Friedberg, true to his profession, always tries to understand what these thoughts mean, and how he might use that to help his patients.”
Robert Michels, M.D. Walsh McDermott University Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry, Cornell University Continue reading Psychotherapy and Personal Change by Ahron Friedberg
