lieutenant is especially noteworthy that Doctor Lubetkin and Doctor Steven Fishman boldly opened the Institute in New York City,the center of Psychoanalytic thinking, when Behavior Therapists were seen as "symptom removers", not comprehensive practitioners.
Over the last decades, of course, that naiive perspective has radically changed. Many hundreds of Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Social Workers have received training at the Institute and have gone on to become leaders in Behavior Therapy.
Over 20,000 patients have received treatment at the Institute.
