Daniel Shreeve grew up in a family of writers, and in a community of laboratory scientists and their families that filled up, and eventually transformed the small Long Island village of Bellport. He recalls a carefree and often barefoot childhood during a period when the fields and forests between home and Great South Bay were accessible and open. His father-a pioneer in nuclear medicine-brought the family to Sweden for a sabbatical, where the author completed high school at Viggbyholmsskolan International School, near Stockholm.

Dr. Shreeve spent his sophomore year abroad at Durham University in England; he graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Washington University in 1971. His doctoral work in ethology included a year of field research at the remote Aleutian island of Adak. As Assistant Professor at Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman University) he taught in his specialty of ethology, but also acquired responsibility for the pre-medical curriculum in histology and other subjects. This in turn inspired the ambition to study medicine, and subsequently the early interest in ethology found application in the subspecialty of child/adolescent psychiatry.

He has served in the U.S. Air Force as Chief of Child/Adolescent Psychiatry at Lackland AFB, and subsequently has provided clinical care in a variety of community and hospital settings. Now that his three sons are grown and independent, he and his wife have moved to Bavaria, Germany where the he provides child/adolescent psychiatric care to U.S. personnel stationed overseas.ve spent his sophomore year abroad at Durham University in England; he graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Washington University in 1971.
