Daniel Kriegman

Dr. Kriegman was the Chief Psychologist at the Massachusetts Treatment Center for Sexually Dangerous Offenders, as well as the Clinical Director for the maximum-security, intensive-treatment unit for adolescents in Boston.

At the Treatment Center, he evaluated and treated rapists, child molesters, and murderers. On many hundreds of occasions in various courts (e.g., MA, NY, NH, IA, and the Federal Circuit), he has been deemed an “expert witness” regarding the risks posed by men and women facing involuntary commitment due to mental illness. Dr. Kriegman has supervised the evaluations and/or testified in the trials of thousands of people facing “one day to life” commitment as a “sexually dangerous person.”

Dr. Kriegman was a founder of the Psychoanalytic Couple and Family Institute of New England, a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis, and he has taught psychology at SUNY at Buffalo, Massasoit College, Lesley College, and Boston University.

In addition to his published books and articles, he has served as a peer reviewer for major journals such as the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association and the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. He has been an invited, plenary speaker at international conferences on psychoanalytic treatment.

Dr. Kriegman is the creative consultant behind the acclaimed Edgeline Films (Showtime) docu-series, “Couples Therapy.”
