Biography
V. Edwin Bixenstine, Ph.D., ABEPP, is Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Kent State University, Ohio. He obtained his doctorate under the mentoring of Dr. O. H. Mowrer at the University of Illinois in 1953. After working as a clinician at a neuropsychiatric hospital and later at an outpatient clinic, he accepted an appointment as clinical instructor at Kent State. In due course, he inaugurated a therapeutic community, called Community House, based on the concept that those receiving help were also purveyors of help.
"One of the more interesting aspects of this book is the combination of Mowrer’s theory and an introduction to clinical work. It provides both a focus that is enriching, and implicitly provides for a compare and contrast that enhances both."- Richard L. Gorsuch, PsycCRITIQUES, July 2015
