Excerpt
Joshua D. Lipsitz, Ph.D., was a clinical psychologist noted in his field, a prolific author of many and diverse journal publications. He maintained an affiliation with the Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute Anxiety Disorders Clinic in New York City and subsequently was a tenured Professor at Ben Gurion University in Israel, where he was a beloved teacher and mentor. Josh had a special interest in interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) and helped develop a paradigm to treat social anxiety with IPT. He introduced IPT in Israel and trained many therapists. Sadly, Josh was diagnosed with brain cancer and passed away (at age 55) in 2017, leaving behind a family and the vast work he contributed to the field of IPT. His daughter, Ilana Lipsitz-Odess, following in his footsteps, has completed her doctorate in clinical psychology. Together with Dr. John Markowitz, Josh's longtime colleague, they collaborated on this chapter, based on previous chapters on IPT theory Josh had authored.
