He and his wife Carolyn have led groups and workshops in Europe, India, Japan, and many places in the USA. He has consulted for departments of psychiatry, training and research programs, wards, schools, senior citizens facilities, and more.
A retired associate professor of psychiatry & director of the family studies section at AECOM, Dr. Ferber has helped to develop one of the largest and most successful family therapy training programs to date. His special gifts are;
1: He sees each patient, trainee, and colleague as a unique individual, a friend, and fundamentally the same as himself;
2:He can see the common underlying principles and structures in seemingly diverse descriptions of the subject. Love is the healing force, whatever the packaging. He can put well understood beautiful words on what was previously "esoteric" or "technical" concepts.
He has also taught and supervised the spectrum from chronic psychotics to so-called normals to advanced spiritual seekers, becoming a mentor, guide, and friend to staff wherever he works.
For four years, he served as a senior psychiatrist at Elite DNA Therapy Services in Fort Myers. He saw several thousand patients; supervised many ARNPs, therapists, and other staff; participated in program and staff development, and helped the organization grow from 20 to 200 staff members. He also learned much about contemporary mitochondrial medicine, genetics and mental illness, and contemporary holistic psychiatry, as well as became quite experienced with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and PTSD in addition to the range of psychiatric problems that the aging south Florida population bears. He already knew about PTSD from working in 3 VA hospitals and many hospitals in rural America where wife abuse and the desperate use of drugs made him intimately familiar with thousands of Americans of all ages.

He revisited and updated 60 years of crisis work, understanding how the crisis is really both danger and opportunity.
Back in 1959, Dr. Ferber graduated with his medical degree from Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. He then went on to perform his internship at Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center, followed by his residency in psychiatry at NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi. Immediately after his residency, he became director of the Family Studies Section, under the mentorship of Israel Zwerling at AECOM. The family Studies section was the best family therapy training program in the world. Totally eclectic, graduates of all the leading schools of family therapy were on the staff. The essence was to empower each trainee to become his unique kind of therapist, and yet know the underlying principles.
Providing the best possible care to his patients, the doctor is board-certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). The ABPN is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to serving the professions of psychiatry and neurology.
Throughout Dr. Ferber's career has been a focus on innovative program design in therapy, training, and research. His administrative experience includes management of acute and chronic inpatient services, emergency rooms and emergency crisis teams, community support programs, family therapy, and community psychiatry training programs, and several research teams where he was the senior investigator. He has come to know that the being, the spiritual maturity of the healer is fundamental, what he knows and does are less important in the healing ceremony.
From 2018 until 2020, he saw over 400 patients at Liberate Florida (now called Emerald Medical Center), which is a medical cannabis clinic in Naples. Impressed by the results, he learned a new dimension of trauma treatment. This blossomed into the Myself Wellness center.

He is experienced in the ability to provide whatever initiations and guidance are needed by a wide variety of unique individuals from four continents.

A woman who always puts on a scarf before stepping outside may simply prefer the warmth, comfort or familiarity it provides. That habit alone says very little about her personality. There is no solid evidence that wearing a scarf can reliably indicate anxiety, introversion, heightened sensitivity, a need for security or a strong dependence on routine.

In 2019, 1,500 volunteers counted seals in 90,000 drone photos of a California island; some counts came within 5% of expert totals
In 2019–2020, over 1,500 citizen scientists analyzed 90,000+ drone images to count wildlife on California's Año Nuevo Island. During winter breeding season, volunteers matched expert seal counts within 5%, but accuracy dropped sharply (to ~46%) when sea lions and seals shared beaches simultaneously, causing species confusion. Researchers found that averaging counts from 11+ volunteers, using medians while discarding low outliers, improved reliability, demonstrating citizen science works well for simple, single-species identification tasks but struggles with species overlap.
How a ketchup bottle cap helped Princeton researchers develop a shape-shifting robot
Princeton Engineering researchers led by Glaucio Paulino have drawn inspiration from the familiar snap of a ketchup bottle cap to develop a magnetically controlled robot that can roll, crawl and change shape without a motor. Their study of curved shells and curved-crease origami revealed how structures can develop multiple stable configurations, including unexpected states created by deformation known as pseudocreases.

Are they looking for practical advice, emotional reassurance or simply someone to listen? The quote highlights the value of understanding personal needs and recognizing the difference between seeking solutions and seeking validation, making it relevant to everyday conversations, relationships and personal growth.
In 1987, conservationists brought 2 male owls to Norfolk Island for its last surviving female; their descendants later rebuilt the population, but inbreeding still limits recovery
Norfolk Island owls were saved from extinction by a bold conservation effort in 1987. Two male owls were introduced to breed with the last remaining female. This rescue prevented extinction, but the population now suffers from severe inbreeding. Conservationists focus on providing optimal nesting conditions for the existing birds. The species still requires ongoing intervention for its long-term survival.
