Venture into a new clinical office where an agoraphobic can manipulate a projected image of himself into an actual crowd, where a woman afraid of flying can desensitize herself through virtual reality exposure, where an ill-socialized adolescent or a depressed elderly patient can visit a virtual community. Dr Jeri Fink introduces the brave new world of psychotechnology with a mix of imagination, enthusiasm and authority. She logs on by exploring computer assisted therapeutic interventions for treating individuals and groups based on accepted theories of practice; next, she raises and answers questions about such pivotal attendant issues as the rise of Internet Addiction Disorder and the implications of cybertherapies for managed care; and finally, she supplies a resource guide to the Internet as a channel for professional communications as well as for professional reference.
Author. Traveler. Therapist.
I was born and raised in the Big Apple, where I started writing at the tender age of eight! My first characters were the people I saw on buses and subways.
Traveling was always a big part of my life (check out the photos). My formal education in English, psychology, and social sciences led to a doctorate in clinical social work. I set up a private psychotherapy practice treating troubled couples and families. People like to ask me, "Whaddya think, Dr. Fink?"
Writing is my work and passion - I've published nineteen books and hundreds of articles. You can often find me on TV, radio, book signings, conferences, or the internet.
My favorite genre is adult fiction. I'm thrilled to announce Trees Cry For Rain, my newest historical novel, published by Dailey Swan. It took four years to research and write this book - including trips to Spain, Portugal, Ibiza, New Mexico, and Arizona.
Please join me in this timeless journey.
