Dr. Davies had a long career as a Clinical/Practice Associate Professor at the SSW while working as a child, adolescent and adult therapist in private practice. He was the author of "Child Development: A Practitioner's Guide", a very popular text for social work courses across the US, and was a consultant to child care centers, family day care providers, public schools, and mental health agencies in Michigan, Virginia, Hawaii and Alaska. He received many honors including U-M Excellence in Teaching Awards and The Selma Fraiberg Award for significant contributions to the needs of infants and their families, given by the Michigan Infant Mental Health Association.
