Dr. David McMillan is a clinical psychologist and author who specializes in interpersonal dynamics in relationships and communities. In particular he focuses on the ways that people heal or harm their relationships by the way we open ourselves to our partners or neighbors. He describes how principles of Newtonian psychics & Einstein's theories about the natural world apply to relationships, and how we can use this awareness to create healing and happiness with those around us, especially our partners.  Remember to turn your attention to the YWCA of Nashville (headquartered three blocks from today's guest BTW) and their shelter and outreach programs for Domestic Violence intervention.
