    Dr. Mark McConville: Clinical Psychologist and author of "Failure To Launch"

    Dr. Mark McConville: Clinical Psychologist and author of "Failure To Launch"

    This week we welcome author and clinical psychologist Dr. Mark McConville to The Hamilton Review Podcast! Dr. McConville discusses his must read book for parents entitled "Failure To Launch."
    McConville investigates the root causes of this problem: Why are modern kids “failing to launch” in ever-increasing numbers? The key, McConville has found, is that they are struggling with three critical skills that are necessary to make the transition from childhood to adulthood–finding a sense of purpose, developing administrative responsibility, and cultivating interdependence. In Failure to Launch, McConville breaks these down into achievable, accessible goals and offers a practical guide for the whole family, to help parents instill those skills in their young adults–and to get their kids into the real world, ready to start their lives.
    Enjoy this valuable conversation!
    Mark McConville Ph.D. is a Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Beachwood, Ohio, specializing in adult, adolescent, emerging adult, and family psychology.

I & II,(The Analytic Press, 2001).

    Celebrating Passover with Pediatrician Dr. Daniel Ganjian

    Enjoy this special episode!
     
    Daniel Ganjian M.D. was only six years old when he knew that he wanted to help people through science. He received a Bachelor's degree with highest honors from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a medical degree from the University of California, Irvine. He completed training in Pediatrics with an emphasis in obesity at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in New York.
    The patient comments that show up most often for Dr. Ganjian are “very caring” and “listens”. He states that what he loves most about his practice is: “As a pediatrician, I love being able to decipher what is wrong with babies without them telling me. I am a detective and mind reader.” He makes certain that each patient leaves their office visit with a personalized prescription for good health.
    He has a special interest in fighting childhood obesity with his pediatric expertise and as a certified personal trainer. During every sick or well visit in his practice in Santa Monica, he evaluates patients for risk of obesity and diabetes. He also works with local schools speaking to teenagers to encourage them to take control of their physical health. Through Providence St. Joseph Health Southern California’s wellness program, Dr. Ganjian has also been found in the aisles of local grocery stores educating shoppers on making healthier choices.
    Dr. Ganjian is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society; a designation given to just 10 percent of American physicians.

Turning into a far-right leaning show?

I've been listening to this show since my daughter was born 2 years ago, and Dr. Hamilton is our pediatrician. In the beginning, lots of interesting people were interviewed, such as Dr. Hamilton's accomplished children and other doctors in his practice. However, the current interviewee is a woman from conservative hate group Alliance Defending Freedom (anti-abortion, anti-trans, anti-gay, pro-religion (Christianity) in schools). Last week he interviewed a gentleman attacking trans-gender care and trans people in general. I am really put off by this hard right agenda because it's excluding any children who are gay or trans. My daughter is only 2, but I love her and will continue to love her no matter how she turns out, and I support all children, regardless of their gender or sexuality. I also support a woman's right to reproductive autonomy. I wish Dr. Hamilton would interview people of science or at the very least, interview people of differing positions and opinions.
