She was instinctively interested in understanding social movements and fortunate enough to complete her undergraduate degree cum laude at the University of California at Berkeley in 1969. This began her social education with the Black Liberation Movement that went on to inspire the Women's Movement, the Gay Liberation Movement, the Elder People's Movement, the Disabled People's Movement, the Liberation of the Mentally Unwell and liberation movements across the world. At the same time all the young men in her generation were being drafted into the Vietnam Conflict, nine million to be exact. Berkeley was one of the most prominent universities in the War Resistance. This and her experience with SE Asian refugees were the motivation for writing her first book The Secret Fire; When the Land of a Million Elephants Turned Red. It tells the Lao Allies' stories about twelve Lao men who survived the Pathet Lao Death Camps for an average of ten years.
Following university, she studied at the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU), completing medical school, an internship in the African American community, worked in a migrant labor clinic and then two free clinics, one a former Black Panther clinic and the other supported by the Unitarian Church. For the next seven years she was the primary doctor for the county health department urban semi-emergency street clinic, the alcohol detox center, the men's, women's and children's jails, oversaw the operations of the Venereal Disease and Tuberculosis Clinics and visited the pediatrics clinic.
In 1982 she entered the Psychiatry Residency at OHSU where she was an American Psychiatric Association Public Psychiatry Fellow, a Chief Resident and then a faculty member of the Department of Psychiatry. She was triple boarded in General Psychiatry, Addictions and Geriatric Subspecialties and followed these interests as well as cultural interests that took her to New Zealand for fifteen years and the Australia for five years. In these countries new cultures offered further opportunities for clinical work and study including the Pacific Peoples, the Maori, the Aboriginal people and the many migrant people who came to these countries escaping persecution in their homelands.
Dr. Moore has had a strong interest in social psychiatry, trauma, addictions, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, existentialism and new emerging treatments for trauma that touch the unconscious. She has become especially interested in the unconscious and how this has been a neglected area of investigation and intervention. She has studied and practiced Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprograming (EMDR) and Davanloo or Intensive Short-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) completing special work with Dr. Allan Abbass, the world expert in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
She is a brilliant scholar and a gifted clinician and teacher. It is easy to become swept away by her passion for understanding the causes of human suffering and a desire to find a better way for humanity to restore human dignity.lihat lebih sedikit
