Cliff Bostock, Phd Email & Phone Number

Atlanta

After extensive training and education in psychotherapy, I set out to develop my own work to help clients without mental-health disorders work through blocks, especially creative blocks (in a general sense). I call my work "imaginal training."I often work with writers, helping them complete manuscripts. I approach the work from both psychological and editorial perspectives. I frequently see clients in midlife and retirement-age "transition" (or "crisis"). I also specialize in "coming-out" issues for gay people and those who don't conform to normative sexual and gender expression.Spirituality is another area of interest. I see individuals and groups; I also conduct workshops in aging, dreaming, writing, the body, creativity, and more.

Since 1980, I have worked as a freelance writer in addition to any full-time staff jobs I've held. Most of this was under contract with Creative Loafing (see above), but earlier included everything from medical newsletters to numerous feature-length articles for the Sunday magazine supplement of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Other publications included Brown's Guide to Georgia, Atlanta Magazine, and Georgia Trend. I also wrote a bi-weekly column for (the now defunct) ETC, a weekly gay magazine, for 7 years.Currently also writing a biweekly dining column for GA Voice.

Atlanta

Currently write a monthly column on dining for Creative Loafing -- "Grazing." I wrote it weekly for about 30 years, making it the longest-running column of any type in the city. From the start, it was written from a personal, often narrative point of view, and was the first-such dining column in the city. I also wrote another weekly column called "Headcase" (earlier called "Paradigms") for about 20 years. It generally covered psychology, pop culture, spirituality, and politics. It was widely reprinted and I received several invitations to compile the columns into books. In 2007, I began a blog for Creative Loafing, "Omnivore." I initially was the only contributor, but it grew rapidly to include other writers. I still contribute to it.

Phd, Depth Psychology

Depth psychology is the name given to the work of Freud and Jung. It emphasizes the importance of the unconscious (thus "depth") at both.

My attraction to West Georgia's psychology program was its reputation as one of the founding centers of humanistic psychology.
