About The Author

Dr. Padma Catell is a Professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, a licensed Psychologist, and a Marriage and Family Therapist. She also has a BA in Biology from Hunter College and an MA in Biology from the City University of New York with a specialization in pharmacology, which she studied at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

She has been teaching psychopharmacology at CIIS and other graduate schools in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1984. Her advanced degrees in both Biology and Psychology, combined with her extensive teaching and clinical experience, make Dr. Catell uniquely qualified to understand and address the problems facing today's psychotherapists in this rapidly-changing, controversial, and increasingly important area of psychology.

When she is not helping clients, consulting with colleagues, or teaching, she enjoys gardening, reading classic novels, seeing movies with psychological themes, traveling to exotic locales, and dancing with local tap and modern jazz dance companies. Contact the Author
