University of Pennsylvania. He was subsequently
appointed an Instructor in Psychiatry in the School of
Medicine to train psychiatric interns and residents in
relational psychotherapy, using an approach developed
under grants from the National Institute of Mental
Health.
For fi fty-fi ve years, Dr. Snyder devoted his professional life to the
independent practice of clinical psychology. He helped hundreds of people
overcome depression, the pain of estrangement in relationships, and to
live more rewarding lives. In the capacity of supervisor, John shaped the
practices of many psychiatrists, psychologists, and family therapists.
His innovative approach to relational dynamics is outlined in his 2005
book Flying Lessons: The Psychology of Intimacy and Anxiety. A second
book, Overcoming Depression explores how music helps us access
our feelings. It retells the life story of composer Gustaf Mahler and
recommends musical selections.
A licensed pilot and avid sailor, Dr Snyder lives in the Chesapeake Bay town
of Annapolis with his wife, Carolyn Mills. He owns a pair of dancing shoes.view less
