My professional life has been divided between practicing and teaching psychiatry and writing novels. In 1988 my wife and I started the Family-to-Family Project to work with families who are homeless. Reflecting my lifelong devotion to music, I serve as Life Trustee of the BSO and an advisor to Berklee College, and I’m also a trustee of Partners in Health, the ICA, the MFA, and the ART. As a former Overseer, I continue my deep involvement with Harvard.
