On behalf of publisher Mike LaSalle and the mensnewsdaily.com Editorial Board I am pleased to announce that Dr. Tara J. Palmatier has accepted a seat on MND’s Board alongside our other esteemed members.
Dr. Palmatier became a featured contributor at Men’s News Daily in September of last year with articles that address the lives of men in intimate relationships. She was quickly lauded by our readers as a highly credible and refreshing alternative to more mainstream offerings of that genre.
Holding a Psy.D. in clinical psychology and an M.Sc. in counseling psychology, Dr. Palmatier has over a decade of experience in delivering direct services to diverse populations in a variety of settings. She is a member of the board of directors of the Hospice Education Institute, a member of the American Psychological Association and a former graduate member of the British Psychological Society.
In relating her concerns about the state of men in western culture, Dr. Palmatier states, “Men are one of our greatest endangered natural resources. Our culture has made them responsible for all that is wrong with the world, the butt of jokes, disproportionately financially responsible for women and children and have essentially told them that their feelings, needs and desires are, at best, tertiary and, at worst, completely irrelevant.â€Â
“Tragically, many men accept these double standards and abuses as normal– especially in their intimate relationships.â€Â
The management and contributors to Men’s News Daily enthusiastically welcome Dr. Palmatier to the editorial board, and look forward to her ongoing contributions toward improving the lives of men and boys.
Paul Elam is the Editor-in-Chief of Men’s News Daily and the Publisher of A Voice for Men.
