Dr. Fay earned his PhD with highest honors in 1997 from the University of South Carolina, and he currently works full time as an author, consultant, public speaker and CEO of the Love and Logic Institute. Millions of educators, mental health professionals and parents worldwide have benefited from his practical and down-to-earth solutions to the most common and frustrating behaviors displayed by youth of all ages. These solutions come directly from years of research and clinical experience serving severely disturbed youth and their families in psychiatric hospitals, public and private schools, and homes. Dr. Fay’s interest in education and psychology were peaked as a child from years of exposure to some of our nation’s most dynamic experts in these fields. This early exposure came as a result of participation in training events with his father, Jim Fay. Jim is one of the nation’s leading experts on child discipline and has more than 50 years of experience in public education. The internationally recognized Love and Logic approach was literally developed around Charles as he grew. Prior to and during his university training in school and clinical psychology, he enjoyed extensive experience working with children in psychiatric, public school and mental health settings.
