Dr. Cohen attended Haverford College and received his doctorate

included the first groups in the country for husbands and
boyfriends of sexual abuse survivors, as well as one of the
first therapy groups for male survivors of sexual abuse. All of
his work -- with children, parents, couples, abuse survivors,

connections.
