Knowledge and wisdom may spring up fresh and green from the Holy City of the Heart
Wolfgang A. Klebel, PhD, was born in Vienna, Austria, shortly before the outbreak of World War II. From an early age, his path was shaped by significant historical events and a deep connection to his cultural roots.
Pursuing a calling in the Catholic faith, Dr. Klebel became a Catholic priest. He dedicated himself to rigorous theological and philosophical studies at some of the most prestigious Catholic universities in Rome and Austria, laying a strong foundation for his future endeavors.
Although Dr. Klebel was committed to the priesthood, he ultimately chose to pursue a different path. Upon relocating to California, United States, he established himself as a psychologist with expertise in treating mental health conditions, notably posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Dissociative Identity Disorder. Dr. Klebel was employed at the Women’s State Prison, where he provided specialized psychological services.
