Professional Experience

As a doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at the University of Maryland, I taught "Introduction to Psychology" to undergraduates as part of a teaching fellowship. After graduating with my PhD, I taught graduate level psychology courses at the University of Akron and New York University. I then spent 12 years at Fordham University, where I earned tenure and promotion to the rank of Professor in Counseling Psychology. I also earned a "Magis Professor" endowment for my academic output, and then served as Director of Training and lead the re-accreditation of the APA-approved program in Counseling Psychology. I transferred to the Derner School of Psychology at Adelphi in 2011 where again I earned tenure and promotion to Professor, this time in Clinical Psychoilogy. I am also currently a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine in the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.

Besides my 20+ years of experience as a professor, I have also served on the editorial boards of several first tier journals in my field, including Psychotherapy, Psychotherapy Research, and Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology. I currently serve as Senior Associate Editor of Behavioral Medicine. I have held appointed and elected offices within Divison 29 of the American Psychological Association, Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy, including Chair of the Education and Training Committee and Diversity Domain Representative. For several years I served on the Board of Examiners for the American Board of Counseling Psychology (ABPP), including two years as Chair of the Examination.

My clinical work includes 20 years of continuous work as a Staff Psychologist and Clinical Supervisor at the Counseling Center at Baruch College, The City University of New York. Over this span of time I have provided year-long individual supervision to over 60 different psychotherapy externs, interns, fellows, and treated hundreds of students. I also maintain a small private practice in Garden City NY.

Personal Statement

My interests in teaching, research, and clinical practice derive from the generous care and guidance that I have been privileged to receive from many wonderful professionals. I have also benefitted from the legacy of mentoring, teaching, and research that preceded my own teachers. To honor them, I have compiled my academic genealogy, which is listed below. My academic forefathers can be traced back to Otto Mencke, who received his PhD at Leipzig University in 1666!. For uncle Otto and those that followed, most recently and importantly my dear mentor Charlie Gelso, I am deep grateful. Iam also grateful for the teachings and guidance of several professors at the University of Maryland, that powerhouse of training in counseling psychology, including Clara E. Hill, Susan Komives, Marylu McEwen, and Evelyn Torton Beck. I also want to acknowledge the significant influence that Franklin D. Westbrook had on my early development as a professional; he was my thesis advisor and a wonderful mentor who sensitized me to issues of race, power, and the spectrum of difference. Finally, I would be remiss as a psychologist to not acknowledge the valuable influence that my immigrant Colombian parents had on my professional development. My dad, Pedro Pablo, would have loved for me to pursue accounting as a profession, but quickly became very supportive of my interest in psychology and encouraged me to be the best. My mom, Esther Julia, who lost her family at an early age in Colombia and was raised by Catholic nuns, has had a great influence in my disposition to help others and in my pursuit of psychology as a profession.

Jakob Thomasius (27 August 1622 – 9 September 1684) was a German academic philosopher and jurist. He is now regarded as an important founding figure in the scholarly study of the history of philosophy. His views were eclectic, and were taken up by his son Christian Thomasius. He wrote on a wide range of topics, including Gnosticism, plagiarism and the education of women.He was the teacher of Gottfried Leibniz at the University of Leipzig, where Thomasius was professor of Rhetoric and Moral Philosophy, remaining a friend and correspondent up until the early 1670s, and has been described as Leibniz's mentor. He is perhaps best remembered now as the author of the first published attack on Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise.

Friedrich Leibniz (or Leibnütz; 1597–1652)[1] was a Lutheran lawyer and a notary, registrar and professor of moral philosophy within Leipzig University, where he also served as Dean of Philosophy. Leibniz was born in Altenberg, Saxony, the son of Ambrosious Leibniz, a civil servant, and a Leipzig noblewoman named Anna Deuerlin. He completed his master's degree at the University of Leipzig during 1622 and became an actuary in administration at the university. He was elected to the chair in moral philosophy at Leipzig in 1640.

Specialization/Interests

I love to teach. My teaching interests include clinical assessment and intervention, case conceptualization and treatment planning, clinical supervision, psychopathology, and research design. In the summer I teach a course on multicultural psychology in Orvieto Italy. At the undergraduate level I have taught a freshmen course on study skills and a course on introduction to psychology.

Research Interests

1. The Physician-Patient Working Alliance in Medical Care

I have proposed in the physician-patient working alliance that if the patient understands and agrees with the treatment being prescribed, and if the patient trusts and likes the doctor, then the patient is more likely to follow the treatment prescribed, and more likely to be satisfied. I have developed and published patient and physician measures of the working alliance, and generated research demonstrating its relationship to patient adherence, satisfaction, and outcome. My current efforts are in collaboration with doctors at Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC), colleagues at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, and research collaborators at Mather Hospital.

2. Psychotherapy Research

I am interested in how the therapy relationship is established and how it works in psychotherapy. I have a special interest in the Real Relationship in psychotherapy and how it contributes to the process and outcome of therapy. I have examined how the working alliance and the transference/countertransference configuration relate to and influence the process and outcome of psychotherapy. I just published a book entitled "Working Alliance Skills for Mental Health Professionals" (Oxford).

3. Multiculturalism in Therapy

I have examined the role of race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, as well as what we call "Universal Diverse Orientation" on the process and outcome of therapy. I specially enjoy teaching a course on multiculturalism in psychotherapy in Orvieto Italy during the summer.

International Experience

I have organized and led a course on multicultural psychotherapy to Italy, 17 times.
