Dr. Neal Ritter earned his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Arkansas in 1978, followed by postdoctoral work in neuropsychology. After a fulfilling career, he retired and now lives in Fayetteville, AR, with his wife, Ana, and their two dogs. Various job opportunities took him from a small town in the Ouachita Mountains to Phoenix, Hot Springs, New Orleans, and finally, Fayetteville, where he has the last spent 34 years.

During his career, Dr. Ritter held clinical management positions in community mental health centers, a professional school, a brain injury rehabilitation facility, chronic pain clinics, and a rehabilitation hospital. He also developed a professional practice, during which he was jury qualified as an expe Dr. Neal Ritter earned his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Arkansas in 1978, followed by postdoctoral work in neuropsychology. After a fulfilling career, he retired and now lives in Fayetteville, AR, with his wife, Ana, and their two dogs. Various job opportunities took him from a small town in the Ouachita Mountains to Phoenix, Hot Springs, New Orleans, and finally, Fayetteville, where he has the last spent 34 years.

During his career, Dr. Ritter held clinical management positions in community mental health centers, a professional school, a brain injury rehabilitation facility, chronic pain clinics, and a rehabilitation hospital. He also developed a professional practice, during which he was jury qualified as an expert witness in Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology in seven states. In addition, he had the privilege of teaching, training, and supervising many mental health professionals.

Dr. Ritter’s practice addressed a wide range of issues, from gender dysphoria to parenting challenges, generalized anxiety to relationship conflicts—often in the same day. His work allowed him to gain valuable insights into the universal problems we all face in everyday life. His experiences, along with a sense of gratitude for all he had been given, led him to begin writing after retirement.

To his surprise, the words flowed easily. He found himself typing as if he were involved in an actual session, bringing the stories to life in a way that reflected all he had learned in his career. In his writing, Dr. Ritter’s intent is not to provide the answers, but rather to guide readers to discover their own solutions, much like he did in his clinical work.

Through his engaging story-telling style, Dr. Ritter offers lessons reminiscent of fables, parables, and allegories, weaving timeless wisdom into captivating narratives. His goal is to entertain while subtly teaching life’s underlying truths, speaking to the subconscious mind that shapes much of our behavior and decision-making. ...more

Neal Ritter and 3 other people liked Raphaël Zéla's status update Raphaël Zéla added a status update: Writing, for me, begins where clarity ends. I write not to explain the world, but to listen to what remains unspoken within it. Most sentences arrive imperfect, and it is there that honesty lives. Writing is a return to the same inner questions, seen each time with different eyes. It offers presence, not answers. — Raphaël Zéla

Neal Ritter answered Goodreads's question: What books are on your summer reading list this year? There's an old video of me when I was only two or three. It was Christmas time, and I was focused on two gifts. With one hand, I was rocking the rocking horse. But out of several gifts, my attention was directed toward a picture book.
