Life imitates Sopranos

NEW YORK — Police have identified the 56-year-old psychologist who was hacked to death with a meat cleaver at her office on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Police were searching for a male suspect in the Tuesday night killing of Kathryn Faughey at her office on East 79th Street. She lived across the street.

Police say a male therapist who attempted to assist Faughey during the attack was also seriously injured with cuts to his face and was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill/Cornell. He has not been identified.

Police could not confirm whether the suspect was one of Faughey's patients.

Faughey, a licensed psychologist, practiced cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing thoughts that cause feelings or behaviors.
