Stephen Pittel, Ph.D.
B.A. Psychology/Biology, Rutgers University, 1960
Ph.D. Psychology, University of California, Berkeley, 1964
Dr. Pittel is a forensic psychologist who specializes in cases that involve the effects of drugs and alcohol. His forensic work is based on a 30-year career as a pioneer in the field of substance abuse research and treatment. He was the Director of the NIMH-funded study of young drug users conducted by the Psychiatry Department at Mt. Zion Hospital and Medical Center in San Francisco during the "hippie" era of the mid-1960s, and the founder and Director of the Berkeley Center for Drug Studies. He was also Executive Director of the California Connection, a federally funded clinical demonstration project designed to assist former heroin addicts in re-entering the community, and Executive Director of Marin Addiction Counseling and Treatment Center. He is currently the Director of Research for Center Point Programs in San Rafael and the President of the Board of Trustees of the Berkeley Therapy Institute.
Dr. Pittel has been a consultant to the White House Office of Drug Abuse Policy, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the State Department Bureau of International Narcotic Matters, and many other federal, state, and local substance-abuse treatment programs and agencies. The Drug Abuse Treatment Referral System he developed in 1970 is still considered the most effective technique for assessing the treatment needs of substance-abusing clients.
Dr. Pittel has been a member of the Wright Institute Faculty since 1970. He has also taught at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, San Francisco State University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the College of the Holy Names. In addition to his interests in a wide range of subjects related to the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol, Dr. Pittel's current interests include the study of early childhood memories, the development of social values and beliefs, the role of personal experiences in decision-making, and the development of situation-specific personality assessment techniques.
