Dan's Life

I enjoy my psychiatric practice which is largely composed of psychotherapy patients, some psychoanalytic patients and consulting work. My primary interest is in treating depressions and anxiety disorders. For most of my career, I participated in organized psychiatry and medicine at local, state and national levels. I remain a member of the American Psychiatric Association Board of Trustees, having served on the Board actively for fifteen years. In addition, I served for nine years on the California Medical Association Board of Trustees and in the AMA House of Delegates. My outside interests include reading, tennis, travel, cultural activities and occasional involvement in national politics, resulting in several invitations to participate in health care discussions at the White House.
