Q&A

Q: What advice would you give a student entering The Chicago School?

A: Patients don't come to you with one of four diagnoses and ask you to guess the right one. I'm try to teach student critical thinking, synthesizing and integrating what they know so they can apply it in novel situations. This is a harder and worthier task than circling the right letter. You are contemplating earning a doctorate. As doctors, people bring you the cases where the obvious has failed. Your empathy, knowledge and analytic skills are critical. There is no test that I can teach to. The test is life. The kids are the quizzes.

Learn. Analyze. Care. The whole point of this process is to take everything you are and have learned, and meld it with your own particular passion. If you have facts and care, then you will always be a good technician -- not the person who can shift paradigms.

The United States is one of two countries that failed to sign the United Nation’s statement supporting the human rights of the child. I hope you will help change the social climate by sharing your expertise with the courts, legislators, schools and clinics – in addition to helping individual children and families. With a doctorate, you are in a position to create smarter, culturally sensitive, and neurodevelopmentally sound policy.
