From a psychologist: "program
provides truly useful information in a plain talk style."
"I hope you are as pleased as you deserve to be."
"You conduct an
excellent interview."
From two
psychologists: "Dr. Carol
Goldberg's weekly program makes us proud of the mental health profession
and particularly of being psychologists. She has the talent of
'translating' important and at times difficult concepts into common-day
language. And she does it in a friendly and down-to-earth
manner. We have recommended her program to our mental health
counseling students; their reactions have been most positive. A
benefit for the general public, regardless of ethnic background or
economic status. We only lament that she is not yet on national
television."
"You were your
usual superb self interviewing. You know the most interesting
people! You always ask the questions that elicit the best from
your guests because you're so knowledgeable about their subject."

TV show. I'm so glad that I had a chance to see it this evening.
You are a true media maven with the grace, presence, expertise and
charisma that makes your program very compelling and interesting."
From a
psychologist: "You were fabulous. You look great.
You are very articulate and came across as a true
professional. I was very proud. I thought what
you had to say was very informative and a different slant.
Congratulations. I think you did a great job."
From a psychologist (far from NY so watched it
on her computer): "I was thrilled to see you on TV. You look great
and present well. The program was engaging and addressed important
issues. I will pass along some of the advice to my patients."
"I'm very impressed with
Dr. Goldberg's interview technique."

show."

found the subject timely and professional."

people."

inspirational role model. Her commitment and dedication to public
education is so encouraging and engaging."

indebted to Drs. Bolen and Goldberg for your help."

INFIDELITY WITH DR.
DON-DAVID LUSTERMAN:
"I am ashamed to say that I had
an affair on my wife with a young woman a year ago and this Dr. on your
show hit the target on everything he said as to why these things happen.
I would like to read his book for further insight on this so that it
doesn't happen again."
"Although I have
no personal experience with infidelity, I found Dr. Lusterman's
discussion sensible, sensitive, and very
interesting."

people who can use his good advice about affair stalkers."

series."
"He seems so warm and understanding, the type of person I would go
to for help."
SPECIAL SIBLINGS WITH
MS. MARY MCHUGH:
"Special siblings
is an unusual topic, yet I know families like that. What Mary
McHugh said is so true. I liked her low-key, upbeat
attitude."
"I'm a school
psychologist. Mary McHugh came across as warm and genuine, with
very good advice."
" I
was very impressed with your TV program. Want
to let you know how appreciative I was of the fine
work that you did on the show.
I'll
also be borrowing from the library the two books by McHugh. In
addition to being the mother of a child with developmental
delays, I am the older sibling of a child born with bronchial asthma and
always required special care, naturally much provided by myself.
Thanks again." "What a daughter she had! Fantastic. But she sounds
quite fantastic herself. She is very intelligent with fine
sensibility. She expressed herself well, conveying the whole
tragedy without being maudlin or cliche."
"Both my husband and I enjoyed it and thought Ms. McHugh was a
wonderful guest. Her warmth and humanity surfaced during the interview
and the topic held our interest. Kudos to you both."
ABUSE IN RELATIONSHIPS
WITH DR. DAVID TRUEMAN:
"I'm a
psychologist. Dr. David Trueman really was an effective
guest. He offered practical, insightful information.
Actually, I picked up a tip or two." "Every time your guest referred to the victim he always
said 'her' or 'she.' Men are usually bigger
and stronger than women, but women also abuse men both physically and
verbally so I'm glad the discussion took in the whole of the subject.
Let me encourage you in your work and show,
because I believe you are one of the few professionals."
PANIC ATTACKS WITH DR.
LAWRENCE ALSSID:
"I was so happy
to see Dr. Alssid discussing Panic Disorders, so many people have this
problem, and a lot of stress these days, but not enough is public about
it. I phoned as many people at that moment to tune in, but
they want more, please rerun that show, in the near future."
THE INSANITY DEFENSE
WITH DR. RICHARD STERNBERG:
"Of the shows I
watched, I found the discussion with Dr. Sternberg about the insanity
defense most
enlightening."

programs about the legal system differently now."

Dr. Bishop helped me understand addictions much better."

INITIATIVES WITH DR. KAREN SIEGEL:

work with the U.N. made me realize no matter how busy I am I should
volunteer to help
people."
"There's a lot we need to do to help women and children all over
the world."
DEPRESSION WITH DR.
JOSE YARYURA-TOBIAS AND DR. NANCY SOLEYMANI:
"It was
interesting to hear different views about depression."
"I finally got to watch the show
and it is really terrific. Tonight's show was on depression, and
it covered all the bases in 1/2 an hour, including meds, psychotherapy,
causes, incidence, etc. One really new fact was that 40 % of women
on oral contraceptives experience depression as a side effect.
This is something I have been coming across frequently in my clinical
psychology practice, but wasn't aware of this statistic. Try to
catch it."
LEARNING DISABILITIES
WITH DR. LISA RAPPAPORT:
"As a teacher,
I'm glad you clarified terms people often misunderstand, such as LD and
attention deficit disorders."
"I have been legally blind since birth and an advocate for the disabled.
Your program on disabilities was excellent. It is good that
professionals like both of you explain to the public about disabilities.
Dr. Goldberg, you were so right to emphasize that a disability is an
issue not the person who has it."
PREPARING FOR COLLEGE
& SAT EXAMS WITH MS. REGINA WATKINS:
"Ms. Watkins'
advice about SAT exams is very
helpful."
"The examples of creative, individualized essays helped me
understand what colleges are looking for."

PARENTING SKILLS WITH
DR. HOWARD GURR:
"Dr. Gurr's
practical advice is right to the
point."
"What every
exasperated parent should know."
PREVENTING VIOLENCE IN
SCHOOLS WITH DR. GLORIA ROTHENBERG:
"Well timed with the first day of
school. Your program on preventing school violence is just what
the public needs to hear. I hope you will repeat it
often."
"I'm a school psychologist. The program with Dr. Rothenberg
and Dr. Goldberg is a great mini-course for school administrators, teachers,
parents, and the community. They were exceptionally well informed,
explained clearly, and packed a tremendous amount into a
half-hour."

COMMENTS
FROM GUESTS:
"I was pleased to
be a guest on the show and found to my great delight that I received
more 'I saw you on television!' phone calls than I have received
following appearances on national television. Simply stated, this
wonderful show has a regular following that continues."
"Being a guest
was a very positive experience for me. I had never been
interviewed before the camera. Patients and colleagues viewed the
program where I was a guest and commented about the high quality and
informative nature of the show. I also received a number of
inquiries from community members regarding the show."
"I have heard
rave reviews from many people who watch."
"Many of my
patients and friends reported to me that they had seen the program that
I appeared on as well as others and that Dr. Goldberg is a highly professional
interviewer...extremely well prepared...an excellent educational
experience for the audience."
"I am constantly
told by people that they have seen our interview and love it."
"Thanks
for all your efforts here
on
behalf of our psychology community!
The feedback I’ve gotten from friends and clients
who
have seen my segment has been overwhelmingly positive.
One client called 4 of her friends and had them 'watch
her doctor' she was so proud of!
Greatly
appreciated."
"When the carpet
cleaner arrived at my door today, he said 'Oh, I saw you on TV.'
He liked the show. It's nice to be recognized and know the show
draws a wide audience."
"Dr. Goldberg
manages to creatively weave into these discussions ways in which the
topic at hand is of benefit and interest to the community we all
serve. She focused particularly on the manner in which an ordinary
person of my age was able to train for and carry out such a physically
demanding activity (bicycling around the world) as an example of
successful 'active aging.' She also asked me, as a psychologist,
for insights into how we managed to handle stress under difficult
conditions. The mental, emotional, and social skills which were
required for such an undertaking, and the benefits of ongoing exercise
and good nutrition as one ages, were the themes she explored with me,
and wished to share with her viewing audience."
"Dr. Goldberg's
interest, enthusiasm and desire to help others by providing information
to the public are remarkable."
"People are always telling me how they caught
the program and how well it is done."
"Dr. Goldberg
contributes her very considerable knowledge as a clinical psychologist,
her ability to interview, and her talent for producing excellent
interview programs of considerable benefit to the public. The
programs highlight that psychologists assist not only in the overcoming
of emotional problems but also can contribute greatly in improving the
quality of life."
