Psychology

Psychology commentary from Dr. Bart Rossi, PhD, a licensed psychologist who spent decades in clinical practice and led a group of more than 50 psychologists. These pieces focus on how people think, feel and behave when the news reaches into their lives: fear and anxiety, grief after public tragedies, stress, conformity, emotional intelligence and mental health.
Some stories here have no political angle at all, such as how people cope after a disaster or how children handle grief. Others look at the human side of the headlines, like why people echo the views of a group or how a pandemic changed the way we live.
