Jacqueline Simon Gunn, PsyD

Jacqueline Simon Gunn, Psy.D., is a Manhattan-based clinical psychologist and writer. She has authored two non-fiction books, and co-authored two others. She has published many articles, both scholarly and mainstream, and currently works as a freelance writer. Gunn is now writing fiction in both the thriller and the romance genre. Always in search of truth and fascinated by human behavior, her fiction writing, like psychology, is a way for her to explore human nature — motivation, emotions, relationships. The volume, "Bare: Psychotherapy Stripped" from which this essay is excerpted is published by University Professors Press.
