She retired.
Born in Germany in 1928, Dr. Westheimer was sent to a school in Switzerland at the age of 10 which became an orphanage for most of the German/Jewish students sent there. At 16 she went to Israel where she fought for that country's independence as member of the Haganah. She then moved to Paris where she studied psychology at the Sorbonne and taught kindergarten.
She immigrated to the U.S. in 1956 where she obtained her Masters degree in Sociology and her Ph.D. in Education from Columbia University. She studied human sexuality with Dr. Helen Singer-Kaplan at New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center.
Check out her web site you might learn something you could use.

Are you confusing Dr. Ruth with Dr. Laura?

She's a real doctor, and she's Jewish. She's retired. I don't recall Dr. Ruth ever being "hate-filled", though.

I think you are thinking of Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Her show is nationally syndicated and runs three hours a day on weekdays.

I didn't even know she was christian. I only ever heard her talk about sex. I thought she was cool. And yes she was a real doctor.

i thought she was Jewish, and I didn't think she was hate-filled. A little kooky but not hate filled...

I think she died from a sexually transmitted disease.
