Daniel J. Kindlon Biography

Dr. Daniel Kindlon is a clinical and research psychologist specializing in the behavioral problems of children and adolescents. He holds joint assistant professorship in the Psychiatry Department of the Harvard Medical School and the Department of Maternal and Child Health at the Harvard School of Public Health where he is engaged in teaching and research. Kindlon has been in clinical practice for the last fourteen years focussing on the diagnosis and treatment of emotional problems learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders. For the last twelve years he has also been the psychological consultant to an independent school in Boston for boys in grades 7-12.
Over the past several years a rash of incidents involving boys who have shot strangled stabbed or in some other way inflicted violence on others - including children teaches and their own parents - has heightened public awareness and sparked widespread discussion of the boy problem in schools and communities across the country. Troubling statistics indicating that suicide has become the second leading cause of death among boys in their mid-to-late teens or that a fifteen-year-old boy is seven times more likely to die by his own hand compared to a girl the same age only add to the debate. But according to Ph.D.'s Kindlon and Michael Thompson schoolyard shootings and teen suicides which focus our attention on only a tiny fraction of the boy population are merely high-profile indications of deeper and more fundamental problems that place all our boys at risk.
