For more than 30 years I have led NIH- and Foundation-funded research on strategies for the prevention of old-age dementia. In faculty positions at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Washington, and most recently McGill University.

Along with my research and teaching commitments, I have always experienced joy in providing clinical care, mostly to patients who have neuropsychiatric disorders or dementia.

My recent reduction of effort at McGill to Emeritus status affords me time to provide psychiatric care to persons in the areas where I live – in the California desert communities and in Bozeman, MT, in the heart of the northern Rocky Mountains. I provide this service via telemedicine as well as in traditional office practice.   

I typically work with families and staff in the residential facilities to coordinate improvements in treatment of my patients.  These efforts provide a fascinating and gratifying set of activities in my “semi-retired” state.
