received his B.A. in Social Welfare from the University of California at Berkeley

School of Social Work in New York City (1967), where his major course of study
was Group Work.
Dick's
work with groups in the South Bronx of New York City was the one student example
of group work presented to all the professional group work community of New York
City in 1967. It was then published in the book The Practice of Group Work edited
by William Schwartz, the originator of the group work model Dick teaches.
Dick
has used the group work skills he learned to break ground in many areas, including
stopping homosexual rape completely for four years at the military maximum security
prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He also used group work (therapy) to help
the angriest, most assaultive prisoners leave solitary confinement and get on
with their lives.

Peak Mental Health, Dick also served on many community councils, boards and governmental
committees, often as the chairperson. Dick has consulted to many organizations,
often where team dysfunction threatened either survival of a company or huge lawsuits.
