Suzanne Banford is a clinical psychologist
in private practice in San Francisco since 1970. She has over 40
years of experience working with diverse client populations in
different clinical settings in the Bay Area. She was a staff
psychologist with S. F. Community Mental Health Services for five
years, at San Quentin Prison for two years, and worked in Student
Counseling Services and/or taught at S. F. State University for 21
years. She enjoyed supervising psychology interns in each of these
settings. Until her retirement from S.F.S.U. in 1992, she combined
part time work in an academic or agency setting with private
practice. She has an abiding interest in dreams, family systems,
analytical psychology, and expressive art therapies. She delights in
being with other people as they become more authentically and fully
themselves (and facilitating that process).

California Psychiatric Association, a Distinguished Life Fellow of
the American Psychiatric Association and has won a number of awards

the relationship between individuality and universality. She now

in seeing the wider dissemination of emotional education that led
her to form Equilibrium Dynamics in 2005.
