For over 40 years Jim has worked with individuals and groups in a variety of setting including his private practice office for psychodynamic psychotherapy and workplace settings for employee assistance (EA) consultations, resiliency / hardiness seminars (see materials below), leadership development, and business coaching.
Jim’s initial interest in dramatic presentations lead to his interest in both psychology and the workplace; pivotal experiences were performances of the works of Tennessee Williams and Arnold Wesker. While working as a clinician and training as a psychoanalyst, Jim began doing EA work. His transition from EA management consultation to management development/business coaching work is illustrated in the article From Management Consultation to Management Development.
Jim and his co-authors recently revised The Employee Assistance Treatment Planner which will be release in August 2026.
As a student Jim was a recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Grant and the Robert M. Linder scholarship at the National Association of Psychoanalysis. Currently he is a member and training analyst there.
