He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in psychology from the University of Rochester and his Masters of Science from Columbia University. He later attended George Washington University, obtaining a PhD in clinical psychology and philosophy.[1]

Career edit

After leaving George Washington University, Gardere worked as a staff psychologist for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

During his tenure there, he was instrumental in designing the policy on psychological treatment for HIV-infected prisoners. [citation needed] He also participated in hostage negotiations at the Atlanta Prison Siege of 1987.[2]
