Larry A. Fader received his Ph.D. in religion from Temple University. His doctoral dissertation, which includes the John Cage dialogue published in this book, examines the influence of Zen teacher D.T. Suzuki on Western culture. Dr. Fader taught religion at Temple and LaSalle Universities, and at Trinity College. He went on to attain an MSW at the University of Connecticut, a degree he uses for clinical therapy practice. He has directed the Family Institute of Maine, and the Dialogue Center in Portland, Maine. He has taught, trained, and supervised therapists at these agencies and served on the faculties of the University of Connecticut School of Social Work, University of New England, and the Cambridge Hospital Marriage and Family Therapy Program of the Harvard University School of Medicine. He now lives in western Massachusetts, where he sees a small number of clients, sings, writes poetry, and takes care of his goldendoodle named Alexander and his cockapoo, Dr. Kumquat.
