Dr. Stephen Hinshaw
The Psychology Colloquium Series presents Dr. Stephen Hinshaw on “ADHD: Developmental Trajectories, Casual Factors, Underlying Mechanisms, Female Outcomes, and Rising Prevalence” on Monday, March 26, at 11:50 a.m. in Porter 102.
Hinshaw is Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, where he was Department Chair from 2004-2011. He is also Professor of Psychiatry and Vice-Chair for Child and Adolescent Psychology at the University of California, San Francisco.
He received his B.A. from Harvard and, after directing school programs and residential summer camps, his doctorate in clinical psychology from UCLA, before performing a post-doctoral fellowship at the Langley Porter Institute of UC San Francisco.
His work focuses on developmental psychopathology, clinical interventions with children and adolescents (particularly mechanisms underlying therapeutic change), and mental illness stigma. He has directed research programs and conducted clinical trials and longitudinal studies for boys and—more recently—for girls with inattention and impulse-control problems.
Hinshaw has authored over 330 articles and chapters, plus 12 books, including The Mark of Shame: Stigma of Mental Illness and an Agenda for Change (Oxford, 2007), The Triple Bind: Saving our Teenage Girls from Today’s Pressures (Random House, 2009), and (with R. Scheffler) The ADHD Explosion: Myths, Medications, Money, and Today’s Push for Performance (Oxford, 2014). His newest book, with St. Martin’s Press—Another Kind of Madness: A Journey through the Stigma and Hope of Mental Illness— was released in 2017.
