I had the pleasure of serving as Dr. Doherty’s clinical supervisor for several years in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. He is well informed, dedicated to his patients, and always strove to increase his knowledge and competence by investigating and employing newly developed treatment techniques. A highly qualified clinical psychologist. — Marc A. Whaley, M.D.
