In this Missed Connections minisode, Lizzy and Beth welcome Dr. Frederic Rabinowitz as a Part Two to our latest episode “I lost you over time like coffee dripping through a Chemex” with Dr. Niobe Way. Go listen to it now if you haven’t already!

Today,  Dr. Rabinowitz helps us dive further into the “male friendship recession” and how adult men today can understand the lack of close friendships they might be experiencing and how to work to build the relationships they desire.

Dr. Fredric "Fred" Rabinowitz is a professor and chair of the Psychology Department at the University of Redlands.  He is also a licensed psychologist whose practice focuses on working with men in therapy. Dr. Rabinowitz has led men's groups in Redlands since 1986 and regularly consults with others who lead male retreats, groups, and other male-oriented enterprises. Fred has authored or co-authored five books and many articles on men and masculinity.  His books include Man Alive: A Primer of Men's Issues; Men and Depression; Deepening Psychotherapy with Men; Deepening Group Psychotherapy with Men; and Breaking Barriers in Counseling Men.

As we mentioned, Dr. Rabinowitz is quoted in many articles on this subject including “Why Friendships Among Men Are So Important”.
