KENNETH R. LAKRITZ, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist with four decades of experience. Dr. Lakritz’s career has taken a winding path from clinical neuropsychology through his current dedication to long-term depth psychotherapy with an alchemical, Jungian orientation.
He has devoted his clinical and academic life to adult developmental challenges, both with mid- and late-life populations, and has spent many years writing on the subjects of eldering, inter-generational dialogue, and late-life development. For decades, Dr. Lakritz also has been a proponent, practitioner, and experiencer of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, with its capacity to help us access and work with the deepest and most difficult dimensions of the psyche.
He is an author of books and articles about adult development, conscious aging, and elder wisdom, including the Parabola book, Elders on Love: Dialogues on the Consciousness, Cultivation, and Expression of Love. Dr. Lakritz received a Doctor of Philosophy in clinical psychology from The California School of Professional Psychology, Berkeley, California, 1985.
