Author, a Psychologist and Formerly Practicing Lawyer, Addresses Pressing Issues
NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Traci Cipriano today announced the publication of her book, The Thriving Lawyer (Routledge), addressing challenges of the legal profession and offering strategies to promote well-being and healthy work environments.
Cipriano, an Assistant Clinical Professor, Yale Department of Psychiatry, utilizes the unique perspective afforded by her doctoral education, training, and experiences in psychology and law.
