About Your Host Jonathan B. Singer, Ph.D., LCSW I'm an associate professor of social work at Loyola University Chicago and a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with children and families. I have always been an advocate of technology. In the 1990s, I created a number of “first” Web sites for social service agencies in Austin, Texas. In 1996 I developed the first electronic medical record for my agency, ATCMHMR, leading to my involvement in the selection and pilot testing of the first agency-wide remote EMR program. From 1996 – 2002 I worked for ATCMHMR as a bilingual social worker providing individual, family and group therapy to children and families. From 1997 - 2000 I was co-owner of a group therapy practice specializing in conjoint family therapy. From 2002 – 2004 I was the lead therapist for Jewish Family Service and an adjunct instructor at the University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work. As an adjunct at UT-Austin, I developed and taught the school's first Crisis Intervention course. Between 2009 and 2015 I was an assistant professor of Social Work at Temple University. I write for academic and popular publications. View my complete profile
