Stephen Hinshaw, Ph.D.

Dr. Hinshaw's main interests lie in the fields of clinical child and adolescent psychology and developmental psychopathology. Major themes of his work include the diagnostic validity of childhood disorders, the role of peer relationships in normal and atypical development (particularly ADHD), the utility of identifying subcategories of aggressive behavior, the early prediction of behavioral and learning problems, the neuropsychology and neurobiology of impulsive and externalizing behavior in childhood, the contribution of family factors to acting out and antisocial behavior, and the implementation of combinations of psychosocial and pharmacologic intervention for children with externalizing behavior disorders. Increasingly, his research interests are focusing on adolescent and young adult outcomes, as children in his various projects continue to participate in prospective, longitudinal studies.
