Dr. William Van Ornum

William Van Ornum holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Loyola University of Chicago. He studied under such luminaries as Frank J. Kobler and Eugene Kennedy. After receiving his degree, Van Ornum worked at Astor Home for Children/Day Treatment Program as psychologist and clinical director. The children of Astor were considered emotionally disturbed as well as learning-disabled. The guiding philosophy of Astor is to provide individual therapy, structured classes with needed behavior modification, family therapy, needed medication, and close supervision of all medication. Van Ornum served on the board of directors for fourteen years, until 2002, and continues to help out as "A Friend of Astor." For two years, he was director of psychology at Craig House Hospital in Beacon, New York. For the past twenty years, Van Ornum has taught at Marist College instructing on such subjects as psychological assessment and abnormal psychology. He has also been in private practice for twenty-five years. Van Ornum's latest book (2008), coauthored with Linda L. Dunlap and Milton F. Shore, is published by Pearson/Prentice Hall, Psychological Testing across the Life Span.
