About me
For nearly thirty-five years, Michael has worked as a clinical psychologist, school consultant, and international speaker on the subjects of children, schools, and parenting. He's authored ten books focusing on the emotional lives of boys, friendships, and social cruelty in childhood; the impact of summer camp experiences on child development; the tensions that arise in the parent-teacher relationships; and psychological aspects of school leadership.
His work with independent schools and public-school districts throughout the United States, and with international schools in Europe, Asia, and South America takes him to about 30 schools a year to lead workshops for teachers, administrators, parents, and students.
