Pioneered this model of psychotherapy for challenging mental health populations that was developed in his work experience over 40+ years of clinical practice in various practice settings with diverse clinical populations. The Mind Stimulation Therapy model was further refined and developed in his long-time collaborative work with Professor Boisvert, who was his former student-extern for six years at NRI Community Services.
