He has served on editorial boards of professional journals (PsycCritiques; Family Therapy)[2] and as an ad hoc reviewer for several journals and book publishers.

Career

[edit]

Shapiro was first licensed in Hawaii in 1974 and later in California in 1978. During his career, he has held advanced certifications: A Diplomate from the American Board of Medical Psychotherapists (ABMP, 1987–2010), a Certified Clinical Consultant by American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (1994-2006), certified by the National Registry of Certified Group Therapists (1997-2006), and listed in the National Register of Health Care Providers in Psychology (1978–2019).[2]

From 1970 until 2020, Shapiro was engaged in the part-time practice of individual, group, couple and family psychotherapy. He was a partner in the King Kalakaua Center for Humanistic Psychotherapy in Honolulu from 1974 to 1982, a member of Spectrum Comprehensive Mental Health, and partner in a private practice in Los Altos, CA. He was also a visiting staff counselor at the Counseling Center (Crown & Kresge Colleges), University of California, Santa Cruz 1978–1979.[2]

He was founding/managing partner of Family Business Solutions, a consulting firm that specialized in Family Business. In particular, the consultation is designed to help family and closely held businesses through transitions.

Among his consultations are several with the U.S. Air Force in the Pacific, U.S. Army (Hawaii) and Navy (Pearl Harbor). These have been primarily focused on Command Communications Equal Opportunities, Race Relations, family life and combat veterans' needs.

From 1994 to 2001, Shapiro was president of PsyJourn, a psychotherapy-oriented software company. The company produced homework modules for patients to use between psychotherapy sessions. The modules were successfully clinically tested and shown to enhance the effectiveness of group therapy in the treatment of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and for training future clinicians at Santa Clara University.

Awards and honors

[edit]
  • Named "notable alumnus" Boston Latin School for graduation year 1960[3]
  • Manfred Guttmacher Award (1991). Highest honor for literature granted by the American Psychiatric Association for Trance on Trial (1989, The Guilford Press).[2]
  • Winner of a 1995 "Book of the Year" award for Becoming a Father (Springer, 1995) from the American Journal of Nursing[2]
  • Award for Sustained Excellence in Scholarship, from Santa Clara University (2006)[1]
  • Elected "Fellow" of the American Psychological Association (2008-2019) in four divisions (Family Psychology, Group Psychology, Independent Practice and Media)[2]

Research

[edit]

Shapiro's research has ranged from a lengthy series of empirical studies on the outcome effectiveness of group therapy, and interview-based studies of fatherhood, psychotherapist training, couple therapy, and the life transition after midlife. A number of journal, book publications, book chapters, and presentations at professional meetings in each area have ensued.

Based on the pioneering empirical effectiveness research on brief closed groups in the 1970s, he developed a vertically integrated group leader training program. The model program was instituted at the University of Hawaii (1972) and subsequently at Santa Clara University (1982), where it continues.[4] The training involves separate classes in group theory and practice, membership in a training group, advanced class in group leadership, co-leadership of a training group with an experienced professional and finally senior leadership after licensure.

Shapiro's other signature work was a two-decade study of the male experience of fatherhood. These interview and clinically informed studies ranged from expectant fathering (When She’s Pregnant: The Essential Guide for Expectant Fathers,[5] When Men are Pregnant: Needs and Concerns of Expectant Fathers,[6] Becoming a Father: Contemporary Social, Developmental and Clinical Perspectives)[7] to lifelong fatherhood and father-child interactions (The Measure of a Man: Becoming the Father You Wish Your Father Had Been)[8] Most importantly, the work underscores the psychological influence of a man's relationship with his own father (or significant male figures) to the manner in which he subsequently approaches his children. His fatherhood work was part of a renewed interest in men and fatherhood that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s and is finding continuing exploration in the 21st century. Until this time, during most of the Twentieth Century, parenting and research was almost exclusively focused on motherhood.
