Interview with Terry Anderson of Bellevue Hospital

A couple months ago I visited my friend and former Internship supervisor, Lowell T. Anderson, Ph.D., who is a senior psychologist at New York's Bellevue Hospital and Associate Professor at NYU Medical Center.  We talked about his 30 years of cultivating a Behavior Clinic at Bellevue where he trains medical residents and psychology interns in the brief delivery of advice for a range of behavioral and psychological problems.  Terry has published articles in the areas of childhood Autism, Lesch-Nyhan Disease, as well as ABA and operant analysis of behavior.  Terry always drops pearls of wisdom and this visit was no different...where he manages to "diss" his own field (he told me that "Behaviorism has made little contribution to psychotherapy") while at the same time still encouraging people to change if it is possible.
