Clinical InnovationsCognitive Behavior Therapy Unit (CBTU), McLean HospitalIn 1976, I founded the first inpatient psychiatric unit in the U.S. that utilized a fully integrated cognitivebehavior therapy psychosocial treatment milieu applied to a tertiary care patient population. Theprogram became nationally recognized for its demonstrated treatment efficacy for mood, anxiety andeating disorders. It was also the venue for the McLean Cognitive Behavior Therapy Internship andPostdoctoral Program each of which provided unique and much sought after training opportunities in theinpatient application of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. The unit functioned as an inpatient service until1996 when it evolved into the still operating Behavioral Health Partial Hospital. CBTU treatmentoutcome data has been published in various journals and the program was replicated in other treatmentfacilities including Chestnut Lodge Hospital, Anna State Hospital and Bridgewater State Hospital.Therapeutic Contracting Program (TCP), McLean HospitalThis innovative treatment model was designed to address patient adherence and motivation to complywith prescribed care. During two McLean accreditation site visits the TCP was recognized by JCAHOas an exemplary model to maximize patient inclusion in treatment. Several articles were publisheddemonstrating the TCP’s efficacy, it was also recognized by the American Psychological Association asa “Best practices for recovery and improved outcomes for people with serious mental illness” and formany years was an integral component of the care model utilized at the Yale Medical School Division ofSubstance Abuse.Renfrew Center, Philadelphia, PAI actively participated in the development of the nation’s first free-standing program dedicated to thetreatment of eating disordered patients and developed its initial treatment protocols as well as operationalpolicies and procedures. Since its inception, Renfrew has become a leading center foreating disorder care.New Program Development, McLean HospitalSince 1996, I have been involved in the development of over 30 highly regarded clinical programs thattreat a broad spectrum of psychopathology. Many are directed by professionals who receivedtheir training on the Mclean Cognitive Behavior Therapy Unit, and/or utilize components of CognitiveBehavior Therapy and the Therapeutic Contracting Program. Examples are the OCD Institute, KlarmanEating Disorder Center, McLean SouthEast, McLean Center at Fernside, 3East and the GundersonResidence. These programs offer the highest quality clinical care, have served the needs of thousands ofpatients and are nationally and internationally recognized for excellence. They also participate intreatment outcome research and offer doctoral level clinical training programs.Report of Education of Patients and Service to the CommunityActivities1976-1983 Volunteer, Youth Sports League, Head Coach, (Stow and Concord, MA)Devoted time to serve as a role model in utilizing coaching strategies designed toenhance young players’ self-esteem and positive goal setting.28

Poster presentation at Eating DisordersResearch Society Meeting, Montreal, Canada.Narrative ReportThroughout my career at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School I have maintained a balancedintegration of clinical, teaching, scholarly and administrative activities. I am viewed as a pioneer in theapplication of empirically supported psychological treatments applied to a broad spectrum ofpsychopathology. I had the leadership role in developing the first inpatient cognitive behavior therapyunit in the United States. During its many years of operation, I was able to demonstrate the efficacy ofthis program in the scientific literature while also utilizing it as the platform to develop a highly regardedpsychology internship and postdoctoral training program.Having participated in a full scope of professional endeavors, I judge Clinical Expertise and Innovation tobe my Area of Excellence. Back to my earliest days at McLean I have been committed to providing thehighest quality care. Clinical expertise and innovation with a special emphasis on empirically supportedtreatment is a career hallmark. Widely recognized as an early innovator in the application of cognitivebehavior therapy in tertiary care settings, over the years I have had a key role in developing numerousregionally and nationally recognized clinical programs including McLean’s Cognitive Behavior TherapyUnit, OCD Institute, Klarman Eating Disorder Center and the Behavioral Health Partial Hospital. Eachhas achieved a well earned reputation for quality as demonstrated in published treatment outcomeresearch. My clinical excellence has been recognized in several “Leading Clinician” publications,frequent participation as an expert witness, inclusion in the American Psychological Association’s “BestPractices,” JACHO recognition and an APA Distinguished Career Award.Teaching activities have had an important role in almost all of my clinical endeavors. These includemajor commitments to creating comprehensive continuing education curriculums delivered to nationaland international professional audiences and the development of a nationally recognized psychologytraining program. I have directed or co-directed more than thirty-five major CME courses sponsored byHarvard Medical School, American Psychiatry Association and the Mexican Psychiatric Association.These highly rated courses were considered ground breaking initiatives and offered at 15 consecutiveAPA national conventions as well as in venues throughout Mexico. For many years I have served as the34

Director of the McLean psychology internship during which it has received outstanding evaluations bythe American Psychological Association and in 2006 I was honored with the Association of Postdoctoraland Internship Centers “Excellence in Internship Training Award”.I have further enhanced my clinical and teaching activities through service in major McLean Hospitaladministrative capacities including Director Ambulatory Care, Director Psychology and Vice PresidentNetwork Development. Especially illustrative of this integration is my current role as Senior VicePresident Business Development and Communications. In this position I have had the opportunity to helpestablish significant clinical services that provide excellent treatment as well as high quality professionaltraining because they are built on a foundation that supports their fiscal viability and administrativeintegrity.Mine is a career that has long demonstrated clinical excellence closely aligned with substantial teaching,scholarly and administrative achievements all dedicated to providing superior patient care.35
