About Me
- Richard O'Connor
- I'm an author and a psychotherapist in Connecticut and Manhattan. I received my MSW and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and was the director of a large community mental health Center in northwest Connecticut. After my first book came out, I left to write more and set up a private practice. At this point I have four books under my belt: Undoing Depression (1997) has become a classic in self-help; watch for a new and revised edition winter 2010. Active Treatment of Depression (2001) was reviewed as “one of the decade's great psychotherapy texts on depression.” Undoing Perpetual Stress (2005) describes the impact of social and cultural change on the brain, mind, and body, and provides concrete steps the individual can take toward recovery. It received the Books for a Better Life Award as the best wellness book of 2005. Happy at Last: The Thinking Person’s Guide to Joy (St. Martin’s, October 2008) describes the obstacles in the way of happiness today--in our culture, minds, and brains. It draws on the latest scientific research and clinical experience to find solutions for these problems. I also enjoy speaking to professional or community audiences.
