SPECIAL EXPERIENCES
1942 Born at West Point Military Academy, grew up with duty, honor, country1968-1970 Research at Walter Army Institute of Research1972-1985 One of seven founding members FIU Psychology Department, was prime mover in setting up
many programs1976 Published PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (PP), an adjustment text with Harper & Row. Unique as
an undergraduate text at the time, this book did several things "mere" textbooks of the time were not supposed to do: It presented practical but research-backed information, stayed in print three times the usual duration, presented a major theory of interpersonal relations that reigned for several years with innumerable citations in Science Citations Abstracts, and presented the second instructor's manual in any field with a wide range of instructor resources rather than only a bank of test items. Ten years later most adjustment texts looked like PP, and virtually all instructors manuals in all fields looked just like PP's.
From 1993-2000 I was the only private psychologist in MS on contract with the Vet Center of Jackson, MS, treating mostly Vietnam Veterans suffering Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. That experience was enormously interesting and satisfying, so much so that I took a special interest and got

training in trauma treatment. I continue to get referrals from out of town and out of state to assess and treat trauma.

clinical training in Miami, FL, under Dr. Theodore Millon, who had just become director of the clinical program. I practiced in a large converted office closet, seeing 2-4 clients weekly. In time I became the consultant for Bishop David Richards, Office of Pastoral Development, Coral Gables, FL, for whom I prepared about 65 comprehensive reports on Episcopal clergy in crisis and their families from around the world. Two excellent experiences accrued during these times: First, I got to select and use the best clinical instruments from all that existed regardless of cost. Second, I got to work with Bishop Richards, formerly Bishop of Panama and surely the wisest person I have ever met.
*1985-1990: Private practice of clinical psychology, Eagle River, WI. In 1985 I moved to Three Lakes, WI, to be nearer to family. My moves to new locations have always been personal, not professional. From 1985-1990 I worked about two days weekly at the small inpatient psychiatry unit at St. Mary's Hospital in nearby Rhinelander, WI, and three days per week in a flourishing private practice based in Eagle River, WI. Charlene Burton, MD, was the psychiatrist at the Human Support Unit, St. Mary's Hospital, Rhinelander, WI. During the last two years I partnered with and rented space to Mary Bierman, who was nearing retirement. She oversaw about 500 chemical dependency and EAP facilities around the US and had earned masters degrees in nursing and chemical dependency counseling. Wisconsin had mandated 90% coverage with no deductible for mental health at the time, so clients overflowed. When I closed down my Wisconsin practice, I exchanged the two state-certified clinics I owned (valuable commodities at the time, as the State of WI had put a moratorium of new such clinics several years past) for a public-private mental health clinic nearby to simply take over the lease and move in to operate a branch office. I simply shut my practice down. Clients in Spring of 1985 were given proper notice; most were terminated; and a very few were transferred. (Unit psychiatrist was Dr. Charlene Burton, MD).

1989-present: Director, Hometown Project, design and build livable residential neighborhoods in village style to better meet human needs
*1990-1996: In 1990 I moved to Mississippi to join the Vicksburg (Multispecialty Medical) Clinic so (a) my wife could get a decent job with her MLS plus Ph.D. in Education Administration and (b) we could be nearer to her aging mother. For six years I was the only Mississippi psychologist in a multi specialty medical clinic. When the big corporations took over, I became administratively marginalized but kept my office, moved to a different hospital office, but have always maintained the same relations with the doctors including the independents. In 1996 I set up my S-Corporation, James P. Flanders, Ph.D., and continued to rent space from the hospitals from July, 1996-April, 2001.
1993-2000 I was the only private psychologist in MS on contract with the Vet Center of Jackson, MS, treating mostly Vietnam Veterans suffering PTSD as described above under SPECIAL EXPERIENCES.
*1996-2007: Private practice of clinical psychology, Vicksburg, MS. In 2001 I finally decided to get my own place. In Spring of 2001 I bought and refurbished the Belmont House, a nice bungalow built in 1900, huge front porch, 2100 sq. ft., polished wood floors, high ceilings, working kitchen, and overall the nicest doctor’s office by far in town. As a solo practitioner small businessman, I bring business in, manage my office and one office manager, supervise billing, pay taxes, and perform the full range of business activities. Once ensconced in the beautiful Belmont House, the client flow continued.
