Time Statues Revisited

Born in the lull between the two world wars, he now shares his lifespan perspectives on today's interesting times with us. Robert F. Morgan, Ph.D. is a Life Member of the American Psychological Association. An NIMH Pre-Doctoral Fellow at Michigan State University, he continued with more than 60 years of post-doctoral practice and teaching experience. A former speech collaborator and project consultant for organizations including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., he was founding editor of the Cambridge University Press Journal of Tropical Psychology, and founder of the Division of Applied Gerontology in the International Association of Applied Psychology (IAAP). He has overseen 126 psychology doctoral dissertations in California, Singapore, and Australia, along with a contemporary trauma psychology seminar at the University of New Mexico. He has published more than a hundred articles and 17 books on topics including life span psychology, trauma psychology in context, applied gerontology, international psychology, and even unfortunate baby names. Only semi-retired, he avoids a lethargic status by continuing to think and write. He also hopes to avoid that opposite error exemplified by misleading voices of our era and, of course, Lincoln's prescient warning: "It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt." Well, his readers will continue to be the judge of that.
