Expanding Frontiers: Dr. Jeffrey Kaye

Erica Lukes and Jack Brewer welcome Dr. Jeffrey Kaye to Expanding Frontiers. This is a live episode, April 14, 7pm Eastern Time.

Jeffrey S. Kaye graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in the 1980s. After working as a cab driver, an assistant casting director, a proofreader, a typographer, and assorted odd jobs, he settled down and became a clinical psychologist in his middle age. He retired from his psychotherapy practice in 2017.

Dr. Kaye also taught Adult Development and History and Systems of Psychology to Bay Area graduate students in psychology. For nearly 10 years he worked part-time with Survivors International in San Francisco, conducting both assessment and psychotherapy of torture victims.

After 9/11, he joined others in protesting the activities of psychologists in the CIA and Department of Defense, some of whom helped develop interrogation programs that have widely been exposed as including torture and other forms of cruel treatment of prisoners. "Cover-up at Guantanamo" is his first eBook, available on Amazon, documenting what his research revealed about prisoner treatment and deaths at the base.

Dr. Kaye's research interests additionally include Cold War history, biological weapons, and related topics. He has published articles on torture and other subjects at Medium, Truthout, The Guardian, Al Jazeera America, Alternet, and other online websites.
