 Essential of Behavior, LLC was started by Dr. Kaloyan Tanev. While doing his residency training in psychiatry at Brown University, Dr. Tanev organized a seminar series on psychoanalytic topics for the residents and faculty.
Later, Dr. Tanev started working in a Mental Health Center in South Carolina. The work involved a great deal of driving and left little time for reading. It was also geographically separated from the major academic institutions.
While driving to and from work, Dr. Tanev listened to the available continuing education audio programs in the areas of psychiatry and psychology. Although some of them were excellent, many of them were recorded at live conferences, which meant that the speaker referred to slides not available to the listener. Also, there was a scarcity of audio programs addressing the connection between basic and clinical sciences, between biological and psychological therapies, and the connection between the different types of psychotherapies.
Dr.Tanev started Essentials of Behavior, LLC, to create audio, video, and on-line educational programs of the highest quality that would address the needs of health care professionals. He wanted to develop programs that emphasize the essentials of (human) behavior, not just updates on the treatment of certain disorders. He wanted to create an audio and video library of the most important work in the areas of psychiatry and psychology. He wanted to use the currently available technology to develop forums where professionals dealing with different aspects of human behavior meet and exchange ideas and knowledge. Lastly, he wanted to create novel opportunities for health care professionals to learn and get involved in courses previously unavailable to them. |
