Dr. Donald Meichenbaum

Donald Meichenbaum can easily be considered Canada's leading researcher and theoretician in the area of clinical psychology. Indeed, he is clearly among the very best clinical researchers in the world, a reputation achieved remarkably early in his career. His two major books on cognitive behavior modification and stress-inoculation training have been translated into several languages and have had a major impact on both theory and clinical practice. In general terms, Meichenbaum has been influential in reinstating mind into behavioral psychology, with enormous benefits to our understanding of people and their problems.
