About Rick Blum,
Ph.D.
Dr. Rick Blum is a licensed psychologist in the state of Connecticut,
enjoying a full-time psychotherapy practice since opening his West Hartford
office in 1986. A graduate of Brandeis University, he earned advanced
degrees at the University of Iowa, Syracuse University, and Saybrook
Institute. Saybrook, founded by luminaries such as Abraham Maslow and Carl
Rogers, and with historic faculty such as Rollo May and Sam Keen, is the leading
graduate institute in the field of humanistic psychology. Finishing his
doctorate there, Dr. Rick Blum went on to academically rank in the top ten
percent of Ph.D.s taking the national licensing exam. He also
distinguished himself in his private practice, earning a reputation for
remarkable results that allowed him to be one of the few psychologists with
a brimming schedule without entering any managed care panels.
For many years, Dr. Blum has been teaching others what his years of
experience have taught him. He was the director of the Change Agents
Training Institute for ten years, providing joint Masters degrees with
Fairfield University, and later with Vermont College of Norwich University.
He was also a field internship supervisor for Antioch/New England Graduate
School.
His workshops and seminars have included an exciting range of settings. For
example, he set up the emergency performance program of the San Francisco
Police Department. Similarly, he consulted to the Power Authority of the
State of New York, the GNA Supercuts franchise chain, and Homecraft
Industries. His research has been published through Oak Ridge National Lab,
Syracuse University, the American Nuclear Society, the Designed Change
Institute, and the Peace Officer Standard and Training Commission of
California.
