Carole Lieberman M.D., MPH., of Beverly Hills, California was born and raised in New York City. Dr. Carole received her Medical Degree from Belgium's Universite catholique de Louvain and received her psychiatric residency training at N.Y.U.-Bellevue, where she was Chief Resident. She also studied in London at Anna Freud's Hampstead Clinic and at the Institute of Psychiatry/Maudsley Hospital. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and a member of the clinical faculty at U.C.L.A.'s Neuropsychiatric Institute. She was awarded an NIMH grant for research into how to use the media for public health education. Dr. Lieberman has a Masters Degree in Public Health from the University of California, Los Angeles.[citation needed]
Dr. Lieberman is co-author of the best selling book Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them and When to Leave Them (Dutton/Signet) and author of Coping With Terrorism: Dreams Interrupted (European Atlantic Publications). Cosmo magazine chose her as one of the nation's "top therapists"[citation needed].

Video games incident
In February 2011, Dr. Lieberman gathered attention for her claim linking rising trends between rape and videogames during an interview with FOX News: "The increase in rapes can be attributed in large part to the playing out of [sexual] scenes in video games".[1] Despite the seriousness of Lieberman’s allegations, when asked by Wired.com multiple times to clarify her comments, she failed to cite a single study, statistic, or piece of evidence that proved her point. Dr. Lieberman has responded with a single study to support her case as of February 14, 2011: "Violent Video Game Effects on Aggression, Empathy, and Prosocial Behavior in Eastern and Western Countries: A Meta-Analytic Review". [2] Interestingly, no mention of sexual crime is mentioned in the article, let alone a scientific correlation between the two, making Dr. Lieberman's claims seem like a ploy for attention rather than a call to address an important societal issue.
Dr. Lieberman is now attempting to rectify her relationship with gamers by offering a more detailed explanation of her thoughts to anyone who would take the time to email her. This change of heart was in response to plummeting ratings of her book, "Bad Girls", on Amazon.com. [3][4]
