Neal Ritter earned his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Arkansas in 1978, followed by postdoctoral work in neuropsychology. Over a decades-long career, he held clinical leadership roles, taught and supervised developing clinicians, and maintained a private practice in which he was jury qualified as an expert witness in Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology across seven states.

To his surprise, the words flowed easily. He found himself t

With one hand, I was rocking the rocking horse. But out of several gifts, my attention was directed toward a picture book.

He drew me into the idealistical world of Atlantis where, at least as I remember, there was freedom from ordinary societal restraints. I love nothing more than a book that can become my temporary reality and allow me to consider things anew.(less)

Raphaël Zéla added a status update: Writing, for me, begins where clarity ends.

Most sentences arrive imperfect, and it is there that honesty lives.
