About the Author
Having realized that it is hard for readers to trust authors they can’t know, I will be dropping my pen name, Tyne Traverson, and soon republishing my book under my real name, Jeff Duffey MD. Though I’m an MD, the important thing is whether what I have written rings true to you.After getting an MD from the Medical College of Georgia, I completed a psychiatric residency at Sheppard Pratt Hospital. I am certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and am a Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. Although most of my career has been spent in the private practice of psychiatry, I have also worked in clinic, hospital, and college settings. I have been a clinical assistant professor at the University of Maryland and Emory medical schools. I did not rely solely in my own expertise in writing this book. I consulted gynecologists and other professionals. I wrote Exploring Your Unplanned Pregnancy because I wanted you to benefit from what my patients, over the years, have taught me about unplanned pregnancy. They trusted me with their insights. They confided in me the questions they were asking themselves and their concerns about the effect their decision would have on their life and the lives of others. Their questions and the consequences they experienced have shaped this book. Besides women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, I have worked with their parents, single mothers, women who have had abortions, birth-mothers, adoptive parents, people who have been adopted, people who have wished they had never been born, and people glad they were born. I suspect that they would all stress the need for you to think carefully about your unplanned pregnancy to make your own best decision.
