More About the Author

Michael Moskowitz is now a psychotherapist in NYC. He is also an organizational consultant and teaches at the NYU Silver School of Social Work. In 1978, as a VA psychologist in New Haven, he led a group of Vietnam Veterans in building the first Operation Outreach Center in the Northeast. A few years later he was the Director of the City University of New York Graduate School and Medical School Counseling Offices. During an eight-year excursion into publishing he was an editor and publisher at Jason Aronson, Inc., and then a co-founder and CEO of Other Press. He is author of articles and chapters on psychoanalytic theory, organizational dynamics, morality, and culture, race and ethnicity; a co-editor of three text books, including Reaching Across Boundaries of Culture and Class: Widening the Scope of Psychotherapy; and the co-editor of the journal Organisational and Social Dynamics.

In The New York Times Robert Boynton wrote, "An analyst, an academic and an editor, Moskowitz is a psychoanalytic entrepreneur with a mission. He wants to rescue psychoanalysis from the academic isolation and bitter scholarly skirmishes that have dogged it for the last 20 years by bridging the divide between clinicians and theorists who work in various disciplines."
