I could not find Dr.Merry's academic degree's listed, but I saw his many honors and papers. I emailed him and to ask about his credentials. He kindly and wisely, replied.

Sorry for the delay. I was ill. My BA Magna cum laude was in Sociology and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University I graduated 2 years full time at the higher course for social studies at Ephal Center I studied OD, Gestalt therapy and Family Systems therapy in many courses with Robert Tannenbaum, Robert and Mary Goulding and the Milan School of Systemic therapy. My doctorate was at UCSB where I was offered Phi Beta Kappa I wrote my doctorate in the Organizational Track of Confluent Education

However I wouldn't worry about all my honours. The question is if the ideas make sense.

I would advise you to read my newer articles on my website especially on strategy. Good luck with your thinking and teaching.
