I have 40 years of experience, and specialize in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry with specific knowledge in the areas of body image development in children, international program development, policy development and consultation-liaison psychiatry. I have published on such topics as body image development in children, impact of reconstructive surgery, substance abuse prevention, global child mental health, among other areas. I have testified on reconstructive surgery and in custody cases during the period when I had a substantial private practice.
