Fathers: A Forgotten Natural Role - Peter Crist, M.D. June 2, 2012

The natural role of the father and the serious consequences of fathers’ dwindling importance in society today will be explored on Saturday, June 2, 2012 by board-certified psychiatrist, Peter Crist, M.D. during his presentation “Fathers: A Forgotten Natural Role” at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, 102 Witherspoon Street, Princeton, NJ from 3:00PM to 5:00PM. While the increased incidence of “fatherless” families where a father is not physically present is a serious problem as evidenced by devastating statistics, Dr. Crist will address the even more prevalent functional loss of the father. In modern society, he is often relegated to being a generic caregiver, fails to make genuine emotional contact with his children and abdicates his natural, healthy authoritative role in the family, only to become merely a “buddy.” Through examples from his clinical practice, personal life and from popular culture, Dr. Crist will illustrate how the loss of the natural role of the father is a contributing factor to the breakdown and dysfunction in society that is affecting not only the United States but also many other parts of the world.

Dr. Crist graduated from U.C.L.A. with an A.B. in Zoology and an M.D. degree. He is board certified in psychiatry, internal medicine and medical orgonomy. Dr. Crist is in private practice in Ringoes, New Jersey where he treats infants, children, adults, couples and families. Dr. Crist is president of the American College of Orgonomy (ACO), a non-profit, educational and scientific organization. He is on the faculty of the ACO training program for medical orgonomists and is chairman of their social orgonomy training committee. He has spoken in the U.S. and abroad on a wide range of topics as well as published numerous articles in the Journal of Orgonomy. Dr. Crist is available for interview prior to the event.
