Born and raised in Brooklyn, Stan was the son of the late Benjamin and Lina Meyers. A man of lifelong intellect, compassion, and curiosity, Stan attended Columbia University as a Ford Scholar. After graduating in 1958 with a B.S. in Chemistry, he founded OC Adhesives Corporation in Brooklyn, before opening its factory and office in Paterson, New Jersey. While running the business, Stan returned to school, earning his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University in 1977. He was in private practice for over 40 years, and also instructed and supervised at New York University Medical School, St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan, and Pace University. He was a proud member of The American Psychological Association and American Group Psychotherapy Association, as well as a cherished, trusted colleague and therapist to many clinicians and patients.

Stan was passionate about reading, history, and the unexpected twists and turns of intriguing conversations. But above all, his loving dedication to family and close friends was the guiding light of his life. His impact on all who knew him was enormous, and he will be deeply missed.
