Readers may recognize Dr. Welner from frequent appearances on ABC News' Good Morning America, CNN's Larry King Live, and Court TV/ In Session programs. The door to Dr. Welner's eighth-floor office in Manhattan opens into a spacious outer area filled with books, files, telephones, computers and a busy staff, while he works in a long, narrow room to one side. A dark, wooden desk dominates the room and the wall opposite the windows is lined with numerous framed diplomas and certificates. Beneath an incongruous set of candlesticks on a shelf sits a small, stone gargoyle reading a book. Behind Dr. Welner's chair, above an antique cabinet, hangs an impressionist-style painting of a serene landscape of children playing in a field — in plain view for patients and examinees seated in the armchair opposite the desk. |
