I am president of APA Division 51, Society for the Psychology of Men and Masculinities.

I am accepting doctoral students for 2025!

1/2 Last week I had the privilege of speaking on a panel with several professional heroes on the topic of positive masculinity. Our take aways included: 1) Positive masculinities are pro social, uplift others, and involve power sharing.

Today is International Men’s Day. It is also men’s health awareness month. One of the best things you can do to celebrate is to check in with the men in your lives. Here are some tips for having deeper conversations courtesy of #Movember. #menshealth

Congratulations to all six of the AMPP Lab members that secured doctoral internships today. They are off to do amazing things at diverse sites around the country including the VA, college counseling centers, a hospital, a prison, and an outpatient clinic. So proud of all of you!

Be sure to join us in San Diego for the 8th Conference on the psychology of boys & men! An amazing panel of speakers are lined up and CEs are available. I’ll be presenting on positive psychotherapy with men and boys. #masculinities #strengths #positivepsychology
