Transcription: 
My name is Dan Kirschenbaum. I'm a psychologist. I'm a professor of Psychiatry in Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University. I'm also President of Wild Spring, the leading provider of treatment services for overweight young people in the United States, and we also have a Wild Spring camp in England as well. I've gotten into this work because I was interested in giving power to the people, helping people develop their own skills and focus, from the time I was in graduate school, started in the early 1970's. I also have 3 children of my own. They're grown up, one of them is 24, one is 21 and the youngest is 17, she is a senior in high school, the funniest people I know. It's a treat to have them in my life.
