THE AUTHOR


Steve Davidson is a licensed psychologist, a graduate of the California School of Professional Psychology. His dissertation was on decision-making, and the way that decisions are guided by the positive, or negative, framing of information.  His goal-seeking theory of mind and psychotherapy is presented in his book An Introduction to Human Operations Psychotherapy (Rowman and Littlefield).

His professional experience includes teaching at the University of LaVerne and Alliant University; and conducting psychotherapy and psychological testing in mental health centers, hospitals, forensic settings, addiction recovery centers, and private practice.

However. . . his mind roves across the world.  He is intensely interested in archaeology, history, law, and politics, and the way that human cognition and emotion do, or do not, result in equitable, healthy, prosperous, peaceful societies.

(And he still thinks of himself as, primarily, a philosopher in a café in Paris—sipping café au lait, and jotting down notes on the meaning of life, while listening to a street musician play The Four Seasons.)
