Dr. Neal Klein

Possibility Detective & Associate Professor of Psychology

Dr. Klein began his search into the nature of consciousness and human potential while an undergraduate at Dickinson College in the late 1960s. He continued this work at Boston University where he earned both his master’s and doctoral degrees. For the past 37 years he has taught at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he focuses in the areas of counseling, holistic psychology and cross-cultural psychology.

Additionally, he has over 30 years experience as a practicing psychotherapist. One of his life quests has been to help expand the current prevailing paradigm that we as  human beings and as psychologists use to formulate our beliefs regarding what is humanly possible. His textbook, A New Manual for Being Human: A Humanistic/ Holistic Perspective on Counseling Psychology & Personal Growth, is a part of this quest.

He has also taught swing and ballroom dance for over 25 years. Every partner dance focuses on non-verbal communication. The essence of  any lead/follow dance demands paying attention to visual and tactile clues. He is the owner of both Dancing Feats Swing and Ballroom and The Dancing Fools. He also teaches swing dancing at Lesley University.
