Dana Wehle, L.C.S.W.

 

Dana Wehle, LCSW, MFA., is a certified psychoanalyst/licensed clinical social worker in private practice in New York City and administrative supervisor at the Cult Clinic of the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services. She received her psychoanalytic training at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, is a member of the Association for the Psychoanalysis of Society and Culture, and has presented on the theme of cults on Internet webcasts, at Rutgers University, the William Alanson White Institute, and at other community, professional, and educational settings. As a classically trained painter, her interest in cultic violation of creativity has coalesced through intensive clinical work with former members, second generation adults (SGAs), and families of adult children in cults. Her article, "The Suppression of Creativity in Cults," is included in Miguel Perlado's book, Clinical Studies of Cults (2007). She is presenting on this theme at the 2008 ICSA conference in Philadelphia, and is guest editing an upcoming special issue of Cultic Studies Review on “Cults and  Creativity.” (DWehle1@gmail.com)
