Gregory A. Hinrichsen, PhD, is the director of psychology training at The Zucker Hillside Hospital, North Shore–Long Island Jewish Health System, and is associate professor of psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. During 30 years in the field of aging, he has provided clinical services, conducted research, directed psychology internship and fellowship programs, and had leadership roles in state and professional organizations. He is past president of the American Psychological Association's (APA's) Division 12, Section II (Clinical Geropsychology) and past chair of APA's Committee on Aging. He is also a fellow of the APA and the Gerontological Society of America. His research work has addressed family issues in late-life depression, dementia, and first-episode schizophrenia; adaptation to medical problems; and geropsychological education. Clinical interest in the application of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) to older adults developed from findings from his research that underscored the importance of interpersonal issues in late-life depression. In the last years, Dr. Hinrichsen has conducted IPT with depressed older clients and directs an IPT training program for psychology trainees working with older adults. He and IPT collaborator, Kathleen Clougherty, are authors of Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depressed Older Adults (APA, 2006). Dr. Hinrichsen lives in New York City.
