		mm	mmm	BACKGROUND INFO Bill Player was born in Manhattan, grew up in Washington, D.C. and earned his undergraduate degree in philosophy at George Washington University. Bill completed his M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at New York University, and he has four years of postdoctoral training in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and technique. He maintained a private practice in New York until 1990 at which time he moved to Winter Park, Florida (an Orlando suburb) where he now does individual, couple, and group therapy. In private practice, Bill helps men and women struggling with their relationships and with other troublesome issues. He utilizes a relational, psychodynamic approach in individual and group therapy to add depth to work done in couple counseling. In working with couples he attempts to interact in an empathic, vulnerable and authentic manner - and he encourages his clients to do the same, first with one another in the therapeutic setting and then in the world at large. Bill is a cofounder and past-president of the Florida Organization for Relational Studies (FORS), a chapter of the American Psychological Association's Division for Psychoanalysis, which is dedicated to advancing the training of mental health professionals who are dedicated to the practice of deep and transforming psychodynamic therapy. He also runs a supervision group for therapists interested in advancing their therapeutic skills and theoretical understandings. Consequently, he is aware of the abilities of a number of talented professionals to whom he can refer with confidence.
