Dr. Andreas Laddis is a retired psychiatrist. He graduated from Medical School in Greece. He trained in General Psychiatry at Sheppard Pratt and then he completed a fellowship in Neurology. In the 40 years after his training, Andreas worked in community mental health centers. His most productive job was as Medical Director for the Cape Cod and the Islands Community Mental Health Center for fifteen years. There, his clinical, academic and administrative priority was to promote expert psychotherapy services for patients with severe personality disorders and trauma-related disorders. He trained psychiatry residents and other professionals in the principles of his psychodynamic model of psychotherapy, Role Reconstruction Therapy. Andreas joined our Society (then ISSD) in 1993.
