The Dr. Pat Show: Talk Radio to Thrive By!: The Triple Bind: Saving Our Teenage Girls from Todays Pressures with guest Steve Hinshaw, Ph.D.

For thirty years, internationally recognized psychologist and researcher Dr. Stephen Hinshaw has worked with teens and for more than ten years he has worked on a long-term study with adolescent girls. What he found, is that in a time when opportunities for girls to succeed are seemingly unlimited, an alarm is sounding, revealing a disturbing portrait of the stresses affecting girls of all ages. Societal expectations, cultural trends, and conflicting messages are creating what Dr. Hinshaw calls a Triple Bind.
