Title
Dr. Nadig's Guidelines on Communication and Relationships
Description
I received my doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology in San Diego, in 1975 with a major in the clinical practice of psychodiagnostics and psychotherapy, with additional interest in systems, group and organizational psychology. I earned a Master of Arts degree in psychology from California State University at Long Beach, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Loma Linda University with a major in psychology and sociology. I obtained my Marriage, Family and Child Counselor License in 1975 (MFT6723) and my Psychology License in 1976 (PSY4879).
In August 1975 I was hired to provide and develop psychological services in the Mental Health and the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Units at Glendale Adventist Medical Center. For about 2 years I worked exclusively with the patients hospitalized in these two treatment centers, I also supervised the alcoholic counselors and provided leadership in the treatment planning conferences in the alcoholic unit. There was also a need for psychological consultation and services in other units in the hospital, and once I became known I found myself being called frequently to provide psychological consultation and treatment to patients suffering with a variety of medical problems throughout the hospital. In the mid 70's it was unusual for a private general hospital to have a psychologist working full time in the hospital and to have psychological consultation readily available. I also found myself consulting with the hospital's administration, various middle management and supervisory staff about various interpersonal and organizational problems, quality assurance and other research, and future planning. The requests for psychological services were more than I could handle myself and I hired other psychologists to help meet the needs.
In 1979 I opened a suite of offices in a medical building adjacent to the hospital and would split my time between hospital work and private outpatient work. I discovered that I liked working with healthier and higher functioning outpatients better than working with the sick or chronically ill inpatients. In 1986 I moved my private office to its current site. The inconvenience of having to drive a few miles to the hospital and the impact of managed care and the insurance industry controlling treatment helped me shift the focus of my work to exclusively outpatient.
