seventies, I joined a congressionally mandated team
that had undertaken an epidemiological study of
Vietnam veterans. I was particularly interested in what
had caused the psychological breakdown of so many
veterans on their return home, and I wanted to
understand this Post Vietnam Syndrome, as we then
called it.
My findings were so unexpected that they led to a
career of treating survivors of catstrophes, and to
writing and teaching about the psychodynamic causes
and consequences of adult onset trauma--a topic that
had been largely ignored by American psychoanalysts
until September 11, 2001.
I am also particularly interested in working with people
who are facing cross cultural dilemmas and questions
of so called "assimilation." Whether they have come to
America by choice or whether the decision was made
out of necessity, immigrants find that these issues play
a crucial role in their lives and in the lives of their
children.
Psychological Association, I deplore the
APA's current ethics policy that supports
the use of psychologists in U.S.
government facilities that do not observe
international human rights law. A number
of psychologists have decided to withhold
their dues in protest over this practice. To

the consequences of withholding dues,
