Uriel Meshoulam is your typical graduate student: married, two children (both still under thirty), and not having much else to do. Born and raised in Israel, he served in the Israeli Air Force (air traffic controller), graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Psychology major), and moved to the U.S. in 1970 for graduate school. After finishing his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from SUNY Albany, he did his internship at Harvard University. Captivated by Cambridge, he stayed there ever since, practicing clinical psychology.

The focus of his theoretical orientation in psychology is constructivist, along the lines of G.A. Kelly’s Personal Construct Psychology, and Piaget’s Genetic Epistemology. It took him many years to discover that it is a small step to take from his area of interest in psychology to philosophy. Last year he mustered the courage and decided to go back to school. He enjoys not having to take seriously the question “What are you going to do with it after graduation?”
