NCPF Member - Spotlight 
 William "Bill" Meyer, MSW on UNC Public Radio and guest columnist in Durham-Herald Sun 
 
Meyer, BillYou may or may not have had the opportunity to listen to NCPF member, NC Psychoanalytic Society member, and co-instructor of the Thinking Psychoanalytically: The Basics at the Psychoanalytic Education Center of the Carolinas this past Monday at 12pm on UNC Public Radio - The State of Things; so we are providing you the link. Click here to listen!
 
 
Here is a brief summary of the discussion that took place on The State of Things: As a clinical social worker in Duke University Medical Center's high-risk obstetrics clinic, Bill Meyer helps mothers attend to their infant's emotional needs when their own needs have never been acknowledged. Most of the pregnant women and girls he treats live in poverty and have histories of neglect and abuse. He joins host Frank Stasio to discuss his work with unsupported mothers and his latest interest: how mental health organizations have been used to promote social bigotry.
 
In addition to being on The State of Things, Mr. Meyer was featured as a guest columnist in the Durham-Herald Sun on March 24, 2010. To read this article, Conversion therapy: When the 'cure' becomes a curse, click on the article title provided.
