Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

More (as promised) on Lessons Learned

I few posts ago, I promised to share more information on my new book, Lessons Learned: An Open Letter to Recreational Therapy Students and Practitioners. Well, here it is.

I modeled Lessons Learned after Yalom's book, The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients. Like Yalom, I based the book on my experiences during my 45 years in our profession.

Lessons Learned contains 69 short, easily consumable lessons (chapters)covering a variety of topics that RTs experience in their practice. I attempted to write in an accessable, non academic style that would be easy to read -- and hopefully make for interesting reading. I hope you read Lessons Learned and like it.
