A remarkable thinker and analyzer, Ted surrounded himself with volumes of books of diverse interests. In recent years, he devoted his energies to working with the Department of Aging in St. Mary’s County, where he facilitated a group for caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s, as well as a group on developmental aging. He immensely enjoyed teaching psychology and sociology at the College of Southern Maryland. In private practice for over 40 years, he presented numerous workshops for colleagues. He was an active member of EATGA (European Association for Transcultural Group Analysis) and made a yearly trek to Europe for training. Highly involved in the Maryland Psychological Association, he is credited for developing and implementing the first political enclave of psychologists who “charged” Capitol Hill and the General Assembly of Maryland, to lobby their congressman, state senators, and delegates. Ted was a superlative mentor to countless persons, from the young to the mature. He believed in an existential lifestyle. Always an attentive listener, he always reserved judgments. He will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved him. Services will be held at the Middleham and St. Peter’s Episcopal Great Hall in Lusby, MD on Saturday July 17.
