Author of parent guidebook for teen girls to speak at Stuart
July 29, 2019 at 12:37 p.m.
Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, the girls’ independent day school for preschool-grade 12 in Princeton, will be hosting Dr. Lisa Damour, a psychologist, author, teacher, speaker, and consultant who directs Laurel School’s Center for Research on Girls and writes the Adolescence column for the New York Times’ Motherlode blog.
The author of “Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood,” will speak at Stuart on March 2, at 7 p.m.
Released this month by Random House, “Untangled” draws on years of clinical experience and the latest research to provide sound, practical guidance to girls as well as to their parents, teachers, and advocates.
“Untangled” has already been hailed by Dr. Michael Thompson, co-author of “Raising Cain,” as “the best description of the female adolescent journey that I have ever read” and by Dr. Madeline Levine, author of “The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well,” as “mandatory reading.” Dr. Thompson said, “For years people have been asking me for the ‘girl equivalent of Raising Cain’ and I haven’t known exactly what to recommend. Now I do.”
“As experts in educating girls, the Stuart faculty and staff are thrilled to bring Dr. Damour to the Princeton community for the fourth time,” said Dr. Patty L. Fagin, head of school at Stuart. “Dr. Damour’s guidance for parents of adolescent girls integrates perfectly with Stuart’s mission to raise confident and committed young women.”
Dr. Damour also serves as a faculty associate of the Schubert Center for Child Studies and a clinical instructor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Damour maintains a private psychotherapy practice and also consults and speaks internationally. She is the author of numerous academic papers, chapters, and books related to education and child development.
A Denver native, Dr. Damour graduated with honors from Yale University and then worked for the Yale Child Study Center before earning her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Michigan. She has held fellowships from Yale’s Edward Zigler Center for Child Development and Social Policy and from the University of Michigan’s Power Foundation.
Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart is located at 1200 Stuart Road, Princeton.
Admission is free and all pre-registered attendees will be entered into a drawing for a signed copy of “Untangled.” Reserve seats at www.stuartschool.org/lisadamour.
