PSYCHOLOGISTS FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY July 17, 2010 presentation in Boston

With Robert Dove McClellan and Sean Dinces, I will be presenting a panel that afternoon at 4:00 p.m. about what helps and what hurts war veterans. In addition to regular presentations, two poems by Vietnam vet David E. Jones will be read, and we will have plenty of time for discussion with the audience.

See http:/​/​www.psysr.org/​conference2010/​schedule.php for entire conference schedule.

Psychologists for Social Responsibility is a terrific group. Do come to the conference and attend many of the wonderful events.
