Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, Professor of Psychology, UC Berkeley will open dialogue and convey hope for a better future related to mental illness.

Reviewing what's known, as well as discussing his own intensive family experiences of mental illness, Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, author of The Mark of Shame: Stigma of Mental Illness and an Agenda for Change will open needed dialogue and convey the hope for a far better future related to mental illness.

He received his B.A. from Harvard (summa cum laude) and his doctorate in clinical psychology from UCLA.
