As leaders of OPA go to DC next week to advocate for NIH and other funding, we must be mindful of what is happening in the world and with our federal government. While this article doesn’t directly relate to psychology, it’s important to know fhe dynamics going on with a possible government shutdown….dynamics with a broad reach.

The federal government appears to be barreling toward yet another partial shutdown this week, as Democrats and Republicans remain at odds over a deal to keep the Department of Homeland Security (DH…

OPA submitted information to help focus some funds in rural mental health. This article while well done, is it true Oklahoma? As your ED, I value your insight. Thanks for the healthy dialogue.

$50 billion is flowing into rural health. I'm not celebrating. I'm worried. Even though I've spent a decade fighting for exactly this. I'm worried because suddenly everyone's an expert. But rural health problems don't have urban solutions. The same factors that affect mental health in cities look co...

There is no “profile” of a mass attacker—but there are patterns.

Research shows many perpetrators share profound psychological vulnerabilities, even though they look very different on the surface.

In this Jan 30 webinar, Peter Langman breaks down:
• How psychological fragility connects to violence
• Personality processes that increase risk
• Personality disorders commonly seen in perpetrators

This is essential learning for psychologists, educators, and professionals involved in prevention, assessment, and safety.

What if we’ve been asking the wrong question about mass violence?

We often focus on what happened to mass attackers—bullying, job loss, rejection. But millions experience those stressors and never become violent.

This Jan 30 webinar explores what’s often overlooked: personality.

Join us for a research-driven conversation on psychological fragility, personality processes, and pathways to extreme violence—led by Peter Langman, one of the world’s leading experts on violent offenders.
