You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.223.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Toni Grant''' (April 3, 1942 – March 27, 2016) was an American [[psychologist]] and [[talk radio]] host.<ref name="Bane2011">((cite book|last=Bane|first=Vickie L.|title=Dr. Laura: The Unauthorized Biography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cVPTosu0zrYC&pg=PT237|accessdate=September 26, 2011|date=April 1, 2011|publisher=Macmillan|isbn=978-1-4299-2919-6|pages=237–))</ref><ref>((cite magazine|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|title=Dial Dr. Toni For Therapy|date=May 26, 1980))</ref>

==Personal life==
Born '''Toni Gale Glickman''' in [[New York City]] in 1942, Grant received her [[Bachelor of Arts|B.A.]] degree from [[Vassar College]] and her [[Master's degree|M.A.]] and [[Ph.D.]] degrees in [[clinical psychology]] from [[Syracuse University]]. While in college, she married Dr. Neil Holland, an internist, and they had two daughters, Kimberly and Courtney,<ref name="Brown1977">Brown, James.  "Relating To People in a Caring Way."  Los Angeles Times, November 27, 1977, p. P124.</ref> before [[divorce|divorcing]] after 14 years of marriage.<ref name="Peterson1977">Peterson, Karla.  "Advising the 80s Woman."  San Diego Union-Tribune, March 30, 1988, p. E1.</ref>  Grant's radio success occurred mainly in [[Southern California]], where she had moved with her family in 1970.

==Radio career==

Prior to getting into broadcasting, Grant maintained a private practice, counseling former [[Vietnam War|Vietnam veterans]] and later working with [[autism|autistic]] children and people with [[schizophrenia]].<ref name="Brown1977"/> She first got started in radio as a guest expert on [[psychology]] on controversial Los Angeles talk show host [[Bill Ballance]]'s ''Feminine Forum'', in 1972 on station [[KTNQ|KGBS]], and then on [[KABC (AM)|KABC]].  Grant was so well-received that in 1975, she got her own call-in advice show on KABC radio.  Almost immediately, she gained a sizeable following and received critical acclaim for her ability to handle the advice-giving genre, while being both informative and entertaining.  Said ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' media critic James Brown, "Grant... is a soothing, reinforcing sounding board for people with problems."<ref>Brown, James. "Talk of the Town."  Los Angeles Times, December 4, 1979, pp. H1, H8.</ref> In fact, in a world of increasingly angry and confrontational talk hosts, Grant came to be known as "the Doctor who tells it like it is, but in a nice way."<ref>

Beginning in 1982, Grant and several other KABC personalities, were [[Radio syndication|syndicated nationally]] via [[satellite]], on the [[ABC News Radio|ABC Radio Network]].  This brought her show to a much wider audience on talk stations around the country.  That year, it was reported that she was earning more than $100,000 a year, more than other radio psychologists. She was also considered more credible than some radio advice-givers because not only was she a licensed clinical psychologist but she was also a member of the [[American Psychological Association]].<ref>Fleming, Louis B.  "Tuning in to Talk Show Therapists."  Los Angeles Times, July 2, 1982, pp. B1, B3, B24.</ref> From 1986 to 1988 her program was heard on the [[Mutual Broadcasting System]], another national radio network.

==Later years==
In 1988 she remarried, to business executive John McCulloch Bell, CEO and chairman of the board of Bell Packaging Corporation.  She also wrote a best-selling book called ''Being A Woman'', in which she advised women to return to more traditional roles and embrace the idea of home and family.<ref name="Peterson1977"/> In 1989 she took a "[[sabbatical]]" from her radio program, which by then was originating at Los Angeles radio station [[KFI]]. During the following years she and her husband traveled extensively, and she also assisted him in his business ventures.  In 1991, she and her husband relocated to [[Dallas, Texas]], where she continued to write and do speaking engagements.  In 1997, she returned to the air with another syndicated radio call-in program.

Grant died on March 27, 2016, in [[Beverly Hills]], [[California]], from complications from [[dementia]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://variety.com/2016/biz/news/radio-psychologist-toni-grant-dies-1201746255/|title=Toni Grant Dead: Los Angeles Radio Psychologist Dies at 73 – Variety|author=Cavassuto, Maria|work=Variety|date=April 5, 2016 ))</ref><ref name="NYT">((cite news|author=Fox, Margalit|title=Toni Grant, therapist of the airwaves, dies at 73|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/09/business/media/toni-grant-therapist-of-the-airwaves-dies-at-73.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fobituaries&action=click&contentCollection=obituaries&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront&_r=0|accessdate=April 9, 2016|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=April 8, 2016))</ref>
