My name is Reg Reynolds. I was employed as a psychologist for almost sixty years. At various times during my career, I functioned as a counsellor and psychotherapist for individuals, couples, and groups; as Director of Vocational and Recreational Services at Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital; as Chief Psychologist at the Vanier Centre for Women, the Oakville Reception and Assessment Centre (for juveniles admitted to training school), and the Ontario Correctional Institute; as a consultant regarding assessment and treatment of sex offenders; as a consultant regarding ethical issues; as Coordinating Psychologist for the Central Region of the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services; as a researcher in programs for addiction and criminality; as a college lecturer; as an intern in, clinical member of, and board member of the Halton Centre for Childhood Sexual Abuse; as an intern, co-therapist and therapist in the treatment of spousal abuse; as a member of the Council of the College of Psychologists of Ontario; as a member of the Ontario Hypnosis Society and president of its southwest region; as a developer of biofeedback equipment and as a provider of biofeedback; as a student of education and special education; as a student of Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) and its application in the treatment of children with autism; as psychologist and supervising clinician in the Ontario Government’s Intensive Behavioural Intervention program for children with autism; as clinical supervisor of private ABA-based programs for children with autism; as an educator of parents of children with autism.

Since being retired, I have authored and/or published a couple of dozen books so that the oh-so-valuable psychological information in them doesn’t get lost. About a third of them were written by my friend and colleague, Douglas Quirk; about a third of them were a collaborative effort between Doug and myself; and about a third of them were written by myself. Almost all of them are available through Amazon as Kindle ebooks and paperbacks at minimal cost. In succeeding posts, I intend to tell you about them and in case you might like to read some of them.

I am currently 92 years old, and my friend and colleague, Doug, died almost thirty years ago. I am living in a seniors’ residence. My wife of sixty-eight years died in June 2026 and I am now putting in time until I join her.
