The professional career of Hanna Levenson, PhD, reflects a 30-year dialectic between intrapsychic and relational perspectives, insight and experiential learning, and clinical practice and scientific inquiry. Originally trained in personality theory and social psychology at Claremont University in California, she later retrained in clinical psychology at the University of Florida, Coral Gables, then interned at Langley Porter Institute (University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine) in 1976. She has been specializing in the areas of brief psychotherapy and clinical supervision for over 25 years. She is professor of psychology at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, and director of the brief psychotherapy program at California Medical Center in San Francisco. For the past 20 years, she was clinical professor in the Department of Psychiatry of the University of California School of Medicine and director of the brief psychotherapy program at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. Dr. Levenson is the author of over 75 papers and two books, the Concise Guide to Brief Dynamic and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (2002), and Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy: A Guide to Clinical Practice (1995; Spanish edition, 1997), selected by the Behavioral Science Book Service as a "book-of-the-month." In 2000, she founded the Levenson Institute for Training (LIFT), a center where mental health practitioners can receive in-depth training and certification in integrative, focused therapy. She also maintains a private practice in San Francisco and Oakland, California. Dr. Levenson is a member of the American Psychological Association, the California Psychological Association, the Society for Psychotherapy Research, and the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration. |
