Dr. Gerald Newmark's specialty for several decades has been people. He has had experience at every level of education from elementary school to university as a teacher, consultant or researcher. He has lectured extensively in the United States, and periodically in Europe, Japan and Mexico on doctor-patient, manager-employee, parent-child-teacher relations, and on innovative methods of teaching and learning. In these venues, he captivated his varied audiences with his ability to connect with all cultures and groups and penetrate quickly to the heart of the subject. In non-technical, straightforward language he conveys his messages in an interesting and entertaining manner so as to produce understanding, learning, and smiles. He speaks French and German fluently and has a working knowledge of Spanish and Italian.

With his latest book, How To Raise Emotionally Healthy Children: Meeting the Five Critical Needs of Children... and Parents Too!, Dr. Newmark focuses on improving parent, child, teacher, family, and school relations as a foundation for creating an emotional-health-friendly nation. An important aspect of Dr. Newmark s adult life has been participation in civil rights and youth affairs.
