I’ve know Dr. Ascher for several years, in a private practice capacity, sharing cases and co-authoring articles. He\’s a remarkable clinician, teacher and author, having accomplished an enormous amount at a relatively young age. He’s a rare psychiatrist, compassionate and incisive with his understanding of his patients. I get marvelous feedback about him. He is a growing leader in the field of family systems work and
addictions. I recommend him for this distinction without hesitation
