Barry Bricklin, Ph.D.
Dr. Barry Bricklin’s expertise arose from an unusually wide range of life experiences, from serving on the faculties of medical schools and universities to managing and touring with a rock-and-roll band. Dr. Bricklin found himself in the lecture halls of academia one day and in the backstage areas of Madison Square Garden and the Spectrum the next day. (Musicians will recognize the excitement of owning a card that reads “ALL ACCESS.”)
Dr. Bricklin served on the faculty and/or lectured at Jefferson Medical College, Hahnemann Medical College, Widener University, Temple University, and Johns Hopkins University. His career spanned being a stock boy at a major department store, working at a detective agency, selling houses, running city owned recreation centers, and establishing a treatment program for difficult teenagers, based on maintaining automobiles and motorcycles.
His marriage to Dr. Patricia Bricklin gained him access to the political worlds of Washington, D.C. and Harrisburg, PA.
This unusual background helps him establish emotional connections with a very wide range of patients and clients, from professional people to possibly resistant young adults.
