Autor: Howard Seeman

Howard Seeman is Professor Emeritus, City University of New York, where he has taught educational psychology, group dynamics and human relations since 1970. He was also an individual and group  psychotherapist for twenty years, earning his Ph.D. in philosophy and social psychology at the New School University, New York City. A consultant to troubled schools and teachers, Prof. Seeman is the author of the book: Preventing Classroom Discipline Problems; A Classroom Management Handbook with a companion training Video/CD used in U.S. schools coast to coast, and in over thirty countries. He is certified in The Training of School Violence Prevention and Intervention and teaches an online course at: http://www.Classroom Management Online.com/ . Born in 1942, he has been writing poetry for over fifty years. He is a Certified Poetry Therapist, and a licensed English and Social Studies teacher, who taught literature and poetry in the New York City schools for six years. He also conducted poetry groups for twenty years, and his poetry has been published in many local journals. He is a frequently invited reader at many bookstores, cafes and community art organizations. Influenced greatly by e. e. cummings, Seeman says that he tries “to honor how experiences honestly present themselves, rather than heed the rules of language that can distort the poetic expression of these intimate, aliveexperiences.”  Recently, Howard realized that his main regret would have been not to have published his poetry. So, now, no regrets. He says that he will feel successful with this book if he simply hears that readers feel like giving his poetry as gifts to loved ones.        The author welcomes comments/questions at: mailto:Hokaja@aol.com .
