Traci Cipriano, PhD, JD, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry, is author of the new book “The Thriving Lawyer: A Multidimensional Model of Well-Being for a Sustainable Legal Profession.”
Published by Routledge, the book serves as a resource for promoting well-being and culture-change in the legal community by educating about pertinent issues impacting lawyers, and how to address them. It is a roadmap, highlighting the many over-arching and inter-connected aspects of well-being, and enabling readers to identify and target the issues most relevant to their unique situations.
Along with practical strategies, the book provides a big-picture framework, illustrating how the many intersecting individual and organizational factors which influence well-being are all related, yet separate and distinct.
Cipriano is a clinical psychologist and former practicing attorney who uses her education, training, research, and experience to address and promote well-being and culture change within the legal community. She is a clinical faculty member in the Yale Department of Psychiatry’s Law and Psychiatry Division.
