Biographical Statement
Neal M. Goldsmith,
Ph.D. is a psychotherapist specializing in psychospiritual development and
resistance to change. Seeing
“neurosis” as the natural unfolding of human maturation, he views
psychology as the science of personal emergence and spiritual maturity. With the exception of biologically-based
diseases, such as schizophrenia, psychology is not about “mental
illness” and so Dr. Goldsmith treats “neurosis” as
spiritual immaturity, not pathology.
In fact, he believes the “sick” label itself tightens and
distorts, actually slowing healthy realignment.
Dr. Goldsmith applies innovative techniques drawn from many schools of
thought and traditional practices, such as Psychosynthesis, Imago
Relationship Therapy, regressive psychotherapies, Rogerian client-centered
counseling, yoga psychology, and other humanistic, transpersonal and eastern
traditions. He facilitates deep life
review, awakening to personal history, and life planning, with a special
focus on existential and midlife crisis and with young adults suffering from
lack of direction or substance abuse.
Dr. Goldsmith is particularly helpful with couples – many
feeling “in-love” again after years of vicious cycles.
Dr. Goldsmith has a master’s degree in counseling from New York
University and a Ph.D. in psychology from Claremont Graduate University, with
an orientation toward “action science” in the tradition of Kurt
Lewin. Dr. Goldsmith conducted his
dissertation research, on the factors that facilitate or inhibit the
successful utilization of mental health policy research, as a
federally-funded doctoral research assistant at Princeton University. He was also deputy principal investigator
of this four-year, nation-wide study of mental health policy research
utilization.
Author of dozens of popular and scholarly articles, Dr. Goldsmith is a
frequent speaker on spiritual emergence, resistance to change, transpersonal
psychology, drug policy reform and the post-modern future of society. He has worked to improve the innovation
process and facilitate the management of change, for companies such as
American Express, AT&T and Gartner.
