Beyond Words

Dr. David W. McMillan has a Ph.D. from George Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. He completed his clinical internship training through Stanford University at the Palo Alto Veteran's Administration Hospital. He is the author of two books, and several psychology articles.

As a boy Dr. McMillan was full of energy. If he were raised today he would have been diagnosed ADD or ADHD. He hated school, though he loved sports. He also had significant reading problems. This growing up experience helped him understand the struggles of families and children.

When Dr. McMillan was fourteen he lost his beloved nineteen-year-old brother, Bill. His six-year younger sister, Betsy, was born with Downs Syndrome. Dr. McMillan was her primary caregiver for thirty-years until she died at fifty years old.
