Roger Gould, M.D.

Roger Gould, M.D., a psychiatrist in practice for over 35 years. He is a pioneer in delivering therapy online. He has devoted a great deal of his professional life to offering the same quality of care he gives his patients in Los Angeles and New York to anyone who needs it, at a price they can afford, on the internet.

Dr. Roger Gould is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA. He received his medical degree at Northwestern University in Chicago where he was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, the medical honors society. Following his training in psychiatry at UCLA he became the head of community and outpatient psychiatry at the Neuropsychiatric Institute.

The Smithsonian Institute, Psychology Today, Kaiser Permanente and UCLA have all recognized his contributions in this delivery method. In a study conducted by UCLA it was reported that, "Patients who used software developed by psychiatrist Roger Gould to help people confront their underlying problems - showed significant improvement and reported a high level of satisfaction with the treatment."

In the program, Dr. Gould uncovers the missing link between gaining weight and emotional issues by providing crucial information that allows people to break the cycle of binging and/or emotional eating once and for all. His work has helped thousands of people who've struggled with their weight recover their power over food, and re-establish a healthy grasp over all areas of their lives.

He started his research on adult development, which culminated in eighteen published articles and chapters in professional journals and books. He was the original co-author of Passages; and his best-selling book, Transformations: Growth and Change in Adult Life, was published in 1978. His work was covered in Time magazine, The New York Times, and Psychology Today as well as national television shows. In the early 80's he began exploring the role that computers and the internet could play in psychotherapy, and was acknowledged by the Smithsonian for his efforts in the field.

Dr. Gould has published many papers and textbook chapters, as well as a book for the general public, "Transformations, Growth and Change in Adult Life." His forthcoming book, Shrink Yourself, will be available at bookstores at the end of April. Over the last decade, Dr. Roger Gould's programs on the web have been used by tens of thousands of patients. The program further complements this effort.
