Education

Holakouee has master's degrees in psychology, economics, and family counseling. He taught at the University of Tehran, before moving to the United States, where he completed a PhD in sociology at the University of Utah in 1974.[3] During the Iranian revolution, he was dismissed from his position in University of Tehran for being member of the Bahá'í Faith.[4][5]

Works

Holakouee has written books and journal articles.[6] Many of his lectures on family counseling and psychology are available on tape or online.

Although he doesn't have a Ph.D. in psychology, he often engages in telephone psychotherapy of patients via a live program where people refer to him as "Dr. Holakouee" when asking for psychological assessments and/or advice. Iranian listeners will call in to get advice on generational and cultural conflicts from far away places such as Sweden or Canada.[7][8]
