Dan Egli, PhD
Consulting Clinical Psychopharmacologist, Clinical Psychologist, Licensed in Pennsylvania
Dan has been a solo general practitioner is rural north-central Pennsylvania for the past 25 years. His main clinical interest is in the integration of psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. Dan maintains a large psychopharmacology collaboration niche in his clinical practice, primarily interfacing with family physicians on matters of psychotropic medication, drug-drug interactions, and treatment-resistant forms of Axis I mood and anxiety disorders.
He has lectured extensively in this specialty at the national level, is one of the few psychologists to present psychopharmacology CME programs to physician audiences, and has presented invited workshops at approximately half of the 50 State Psychological Association's annual conventions. He routinely co-presents, with nationally known psychiatrists, integrative programs in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy.
Dan was a member of the American Psychological Association's Task Force on Psychopharmacology that developed the Level I (knowledge), Level II (collaboration), and Level III (practice) tiers. He Chaired the APA/CAPP Task Force on Psychopharmacology that developed the Model Legislation and Model Curriculum which was ultimately accepted by the APA for training in prescription privileges. He is on the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of the Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation (OCF)
Dan and his wife Linda have been married 27 years and have four children who range in ages from 19 to 25.
Clinical Psychologist, Licensed in PennsylvaniaEd is the owner of Three Wishes Press. He thinks “Editor-in-Chief” with no full time employees
is pretentious but has toyed with getting a sign for the one room office that says "World Headquarters."
For those whose knowledge of place names in western Pennsylvania may not be encyclopedic, Armbrust has a tiny Post Office and a 12 by 12 foot store (same building, for your shopping efficiency but often vacant) but no gas station and perhaps 100 residents. Greensburg is the county seat and has about 17,000 residents. We have more people than cows but about the same if you include the horses, sheep, llamas, bison, and a few dogs.
Born in New York City, Ed flunked out of college and while working as a Psychiatric Aide at Bellevue Hospital in the sixties found his life’s passion - clinical work. He earned his PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh and worked in community mental health while gaining licensure. Never able to hold a job, he has worked with adults with mental retardation, people with severe alcohol addiction, done liaison with state hospitals, taught undergraduates abnormal psychology and human sexuality (different courses), and been in the independent practice of general clinical psychology for about 17 years.
He now lives with his family in rural western Pennsylvania with horses, geese, foxes (so no more chickens or ducks), and lots of mud and trees. He consults and tries to create and get others to create worthwhile, practical tools to make clinicians’ work easier and/or better.
Ed has no conflicts of interest to disclose because, odd as it may seem, he has never been offered big bucks by big pharma for his sage advice, brilliant insights, or clinical wisdom, despite his winning personality. Maybe you can sympathize.
