Psychologist and Parent: Advice from Professionals in Different Career Tracks

Abstract

Drs. DiLillo, Hussong, Kamholz, and Lloyd-Richardson are each highly successful as psychologists and as mothers. They each are leaders within their respective fields, award-winners at their institutions and facilities, and admired role models to students. Collectively, they have experience with a wide array of appointments in departments of psychology, psychiatry, in university settings, hospitals, liberal arts settings, and clinical research settings. Over the years, each has navigated transitions through various professional and personal roles. I am very grateful that each agreed to participate in this chapter by sharing their personal reflections on their simultaneous roles as psychologists and parents.
