A variation on the practice of giving back to the community.

In 1982, Anderson & Anderson, APC owned the largest privately owned Psychiatic Clinic in the U.S. Rather than offices and staff in each location, we used a network of mental health contractors to provide services under our umbrella. We provided were a Field Work Placement for UCLA for Clinical Social Work Students. My nephew, Phillp Black reccommended that we offer business internships to UCLA Business Students. This was one of the best business ideas that we embraced for many years. Our first student was actually from the Wharton School of Business who learned of the Internship opportunity from his father who was on the faculty at UCLA School of Medicine. This student is responsible for getting Google to disignate George Anderson as The Anger Guru. One year, we selected an Intern from the USC Film School. This Intern actually produced three quality videos on our work in Anger Management. I reccommend that other psychotherapists, coaches and service providers consider offering Internships to students who may benefit from the experience that you may offer.
