Harvey Shrum, Ed.D., has over 30 years of professional experience in re-entry, correctional education, college, secondary, and special education.

He has been responsible for creating and implementing successful evidence-based life skills and re-entry programs through the Department of Corrections in California. He also has delivered training and conducted individual and group therapy relating to parenting skills, anger management, additions, and depression.

Dr. Shrum's advances in the field of re-entry are empirically proven to reduce recidivism. His published research, "No Longer Theory: Correctional Education That Works"  (www.intensivejournal.org/specialized/article_shrum.php), has been cited in thousands of research publications for documenting two cost-effective prevention and rehabilitation programs and approaches to recidivism that really work – Logotherapy and the Intensive Journal.

Dr. Shrum was encouraged in his life's work by his mentor, the eminent psychologist and Holocaust survivor, Dr. Joseph Fabry. Dr. Shrum's book Search for Meaning at the Broken Places (Wyndam Hall, 2011) is fast becoming required reading for students of psychology and all survivors of life.

A motivational speaker, researcher, statistician, re-entry program developer, and consultant, Dr. Shrum is a frequent speaker at local, national, and international conferences as well as appears on radio and television.
