Benjamin/Fisher picture


Our Training Director, Sheldon Benjamin, M.D., is a neuropsychiatrist with a background in both psychodynamic psychiatry and behavioral neurology.  Our Associate Training Director, Caroline Fisher, MD, PhD is a child psychiatrist with a doctorate in pharmacology.  We feel strongly that UMass residents should be trained in traditional psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and neuroscientifically-informed biological psychiatry.
