Talk- 'Beyond the Clinical Paradigm of Trauma and Recovery' with Anita Milicevic, Department of Psychiatry, the University of Melbourne.
 
Born in 1974 in the former Soviet Union in a Russian Jewish family, which in 1989 immigrated to Australia. Author of "Traumascapes" (2005) and "Courage" (2007). Third book on the way. Live in Melbourne with my two kids. More to come.
 

Traumascapes is a story about the fate and power of places across the world marked by pain, violence and loss.
