Dr. Stephen Hinshaw grew up in Columbus, Ohio with Quaker roots. He went on to attend Harvard and UCLA, becoming a professor of Psychology and the Department Chair at UC Berkeley, in addition to becoming a professor at UC San Francisco and the Vice-Chair.
Professor Steve is an international presence in clinical psychology and mental health whose work focuses on developmental psychopathology, clinical interventions for youth, especially around ADHD, and the important work of ridding mental illness stigma.
He’s authored over 350 articles and chapters, plus 12 books. Steve’s appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Today Show, CBS Evening News, ABC World News Tonight, CNN, and many more. He’s received a Distinguished Teaching Award, a Distinguished Scientist Award, and the Distinguished Scientific Contributions to Child Development Award for his lifetime of outstanding applied psychological research.
In a departure from his research writing, Professor Steve has written a very personal story, one I know you will all be touched by. It’s called Another Kind of Madness: A Journey through the Stigma and Hope of Mental Illness, and it’s all about his father’s recurring mental illness and the doctor-enforced silence surrounding it. Steve was awarded Best Book in Memoir/Autobiography by American Book Fest.
He’s the proud father of three sons and lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife.
