Research journalist, consultant and lecturer Harold Finkleman has conducted workshops and seminars on Communication Psychology, Design Psychology, Social Strategies and Psychodynamics -- the science of human response -- at universities from Italy to Indonesia and at conferences throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
       Emerging discoveries in psychodynamics help identify design and communication opportunities to initiate mental or physical change -- stimulate healing, enhance memory retention and affect performance in other ways including increasing alertness or reducing stress.  These breakthroughs affect fields from architecture, advertising and fashion to computer GUI design, social strategies, human resources and more.
       By invitation he has presented his research as 4-hour Professional Continuing Education Workshops for International Council of Psychologists annual conferences in Boston, USA, Padua, Italy, Winchester, England, Toronto, Canada, and Kos, Greece; for the Symposium on Psychological Practices in Jakarta, Indonesia; and the Advances in Criminology Workshop Series in Baguio, Philippines.  He has presented his work as a guest lecturer at UPM -- University Putra, Malaysia -- and outside the stricter academic realms as four-hour seminars and half-day tutorials for the Society for Applied Learning Technologies conference in Orlando, FL, for the Washington Interactive Technologies Conference in Arlington, VA, and for the Humanities and Technology Association conference in Salt Lake City, UT.
