About
Bio
My name is Dr. Brian Lynch. A Family Doctor that has specialized in addictions and the emotional aspects of life.
Worked in private practice and part time in a variety of settings, esp. in the area of industrial medicine.
I have lived in the city of Chicago, Ill since 1982.
My residency was done at St. Mary’s of Nazareth Hospital in Chicago.
I have been involved in Medical Ethics and did course work in that area at Loyola University.
I was board certified for a time in Disability Evaluation and many years in Family Practice.
Of most interest to me now is how we have been neglectful of our emotions. Toward that end I have written extensively and run a Face Book page - Affect Psychology. Anyone may join @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/AFFECTPSYCHOLOGY/
