November 27, 2008 - Dr. Stephen Larsen, award-winning author and Psychology Professor Emeritus from SUNY Ulster, New York, will be interviewed on the Free Range Thought Radio program by Adam Roufberg and Robert Johnstreet on Sunday, November 30, 2008, WKNY 1490 AM from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. about some of the ideas put forth in his latest book The Fundamentalist Mind: How Polarized Thinking Imperils Us All from Quest Books. The book won a Best Book of the Year Award from Foreword Magazine.
In the discussion, Dr. Larsen will provide a glimpse into the psychology, neurology and mythology of fundamentalism and its pervasive and destructive patterns of thought. His investigations conclude that when human beings recognize these patterns in themselves, they can free themselves for a new beginning.

He has been actively engaged in world affairs and has spoken on numerous occasions about the philosophy of nature, physics, biology, politics, health, the environment, the US Constitution and the importance of becoming engaged citizens accountable to work towards the establishment of a more peaceable planet. Adam’s articles are included in Natural Philosophers International, OrbStandard, Animal Liberation, Future Ecology, and, on his web site at Free Range Thought.com.

In 1990 he opened Stone Mountain Counseling, PC, for psychotherapy, biofeedback and training where he continues to serve as its director.
