A Welcome Message from Dr. Thomas Klee
In addition to my work as a psychologist, I am an Associate Professor in the Doctoral Program in the Department of Professional Psychology at Chestnut Hill College, which is accredited by the American Psychological Association.

I have over 30 years of experience, first as a family therapist, then as a psychologist, a researcher and college professor. More of my biographical information can be found here.



Researching the Work of Michael Balint
Currently, my professional interest is focused on Michael Balint and Balint groups, which are training experiences for physicians, psychologists, social workers and other professional whose work focus on their relations with their patients or clients. This section of my website provides information about Michael and Enid Balint, links to articles I've written about Balint, as well as other resources.



My Treatment Philosophy
My treatment philosophy is a blend of existenial, humanistic and object relations perspectives. It is not the techniques a psychotherapist uses, as are all too common in manualized treatment protocals, but rather it is the relationship between the therapist and patient that produces healing and change. An overview of my treatment philosophy can be found here.



Remembering the Tragedy of Katrina
In September of 2005, I had the opportunity to go to New Orleans and help in the early recovery of the city. I was part of the group that reopened the city after it had been closed for several weeks. I offer my recounting of that experience as a way of not forgetting the tragedy that unfolded.



Training in Object Relations Theory and Therapy (External Link)
 Clicking on this link will take you to a different website with information about workshops, training, and consultations I provide for psychologists and other professionals in object relations theory and therapy, which focuses on developing healthy human relationships.

Object relations theory focuses on the psychological development of children and how the early relationships they form with parents and other caregivers affects how they establish and maintain relationships later in life.

Although this external site is designed for psychologists and other mental health professionals, it may be helpful to anyone interested in human relationships.
