Robert W. Birch, Ph.D.
Dr. Birch is a 1960 graduate of Muskingum College where he received a BA in Psychology. He completed his MA in Psychology at The Ohio University in 1962, and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1967. During his 35+ years of teaching a clinical practice, he has taught as a guest lecturer and adjunct faculty member at The Muskingum Area Technical College, The Ohio University (Zanesville Branch), The Ohio State University (Family Therapy Program) and The University of Dayton (Capital University Branch). He has presented lectures and workshops throughout the United States, including those presented as a sex therapy consultant and Honorary Visiting Professor for the United States Air Force.
During his professional career, Dr. Birch has been certified as a School Psychologist (State of Wisconsin), as a Psychologist (State of Ohio until Nov. '98), as a Family Therapist (National Alliance of Certified Family Therapists), as a Sex Educator (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors & Therapists), as the first Certified Sex Therapist in the State of Ohio (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors & Therapists), and as a Clinical Sexologist by the American Academy of Clinical Sexologists. He had been designated a Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (and had been the first President of the Ohio AAMFT Division), a Diplomate of the American Board of Sexology, and a Diplomate of the American Board of Family Psychology (having also served on the ABFP Examining Board). He was recognized as a qualified supervisor of training by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, The American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists, and The American Academy of Clinical Sexologists.
Dr. Birch is now retired and is no longer licensed as a Psychologist or certified as a Sex Therapist, and is no longer in clinical practice. He lives in rural Ohio where he continues his interest in writing adult self-help books and adding to the collection of his original limericks (which now number well over one thousand). He now identifies himself as a Sexologist (one who studies sexuality) and as an Adult Sexuality Educator, but also as a Limerickogist (one who studies limericks) and author.
