Dr. Maryann Rosenthal is an author and international speaker on family dynamics and life achievement issues. A highly regarded clinical psychologist, she is a much sought-after keynote speaker and seminar leader on how to instill self-discipline and self-leadership skills in adults, adolescents and young children. Drawing from her own life experiences and her seven grown children, she underlines her message with a unique ability to inspire and connect with her audience.

Passionate about her own family and dedicated to the well-being of her clients, Maryann has written Be a Parent, Not a Pushover to help parents and kids navigate those difficult years when children are simultaneously pulling away and in need of parental guidance, structures and love. Advocating a course that promotes responsibility, respect and a strong self-image for teens, Dr. Maryann is the voice of involved, interactive parenting.

She has co-authored with Denis Waitley the new family leadership program The Seed of Greatness System being taught by the authors worldwide. She co-hosted a daily radio show and has made frequent appearances on regional and national television.

A survivor of a kidnapping at age 37, she was abducted from a shopping center in her own van, molested and beaten by an addict. She saved her life by engaging her attacker in coversation. He later told her that she was the only person who had ever listened to him.

Dr. Rosenthal received her M.A. in Psychology from Alliant International University (USIU) and her Ph.D. in Psychology from California Institute for Human Science. Appointed by the Governor of California, she has served on several advisory committees. She is a member of the Domestic Violence Council and a founding member of the Elder Abuse Prevention Project. She is a member of the California Psychological Association (CPA), the San Diego Psychological Association (SDPA) and the Association of Christian Therapists (ACT).

In the Spring of 2007, Dr. Rosenthal will be the expert on family and relationships on the new YAHOO! Lifestyles section.
