Born | Lonnie Garfield Barbach October 6, 1946
Newark, New Jersey, U.S. |
Lonnie Barbach (/bɑrbæk/; born October 6, 1946) is an American psychologist known for her pioneering work in sexuality and relationships, with a special emphasis on helping pre-orgasmic women experience sexual fulfillment. [1] Her writings cover a broad range of topics, from erotica to menopause to longevity in romantic relationships, and she continues to appear on television, in podcasts and in articles on sex, relationships, and women's health.
Lonnie Barbach was born in Newark, New Jersey, the oldest child of three born to Marvin and Temy Barbach. [2] She attended Lincoln Junior High and was in the second graduating class at Mountain (now West Orange) High School in West Orange, New Jersey. [3] She attended Simmons College in Boston where she received her Bachelor of Science degree and then moved to Berkeley, California. She was one of the first students to attend the Wright Institute In Berkeley, and one of the first three students to receive a Ph.D. in Clinical-Social Psychology. [4] Her PhD thesis was among the materials used to accredit the PhD program. [5]
The Wright Institute provided Barbach with a social psychology perspective to her clinical work. While still in school, she ran personal encounter groups and ultimately designed the Preorgasmic Women’s Group program which provided the subject for her dissertation and was the stepping stone to her career as a sex educator, writer and therapist. [6] Barbach received her M.A. in 1972 and her Ph.D. in 1974, both from the Wright Institute. [7] She was co-director of clinical training at the University of California Medical Center, Sex Advisory and Counseling Unit from 1973 to 1976. [8] Here, she carried out her doctoral research, trained therapists and developed educational programs that attracted hundreds of women and led to the writing of her first book, For Yourself: the Fulfillment of Female Sexuality. [9] For Yourself was published in 1975 and was received as a timely feminist perspective, in line with the liberated views of Gloria Steinem, Nancy Friday, and others. It became a best-seller and is still in print after more than 45 years.
Barbach is prolific writer and is considered an international authority on sexuality and relationships. She wrote a monthly column in Playgirl Magazine from 1982-1984. Her monthly column appeared in New Woman Magazine from 1993-1994. She wrote a quarterly column in Eternelle Magazine from 1994-1995 and answered reader’s questions monthly in McCall's in 1994 and 1995.
From 1976 to 2000 she wrote, co-wrote, edited or revised a dozen books, six audio tape programs and two videotape programs on female sexuality, women’s sexual problems, male sexual problems, sexual desire, aging and sexuality, relationship communication, menopause and erotica. [10] During that period she appeared on many nationally televised talk shows, including Oprah, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Late Show, Donahue, CBS Morning News, Geraldo Rivera, Charlie Rose, Dr. Dean Edell, Sally Jessy Raphael, Sonya Live with Sonya Friedman on CNN, Jenny Jones, Joan Rivers, Hour Magazine, Jerry Springer, and Larry King, as well as hundreds of local radio and television programs, and had her own bimonthly segment on San Francisco’s KPIX Morning Show.
Her photograph was the cover of the 25th anniversary edition of San Francisco Magazine, which featured Barbach as the lead story. [11] Articles and excerpts from her books have been published in Family Circle, McCall’s, Redbook, Mademoiselle, New Woman, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Self, Ms, Ladies Home Journal, Longevity, Brides and others as well as articles in a number of professional journals. Her books have been translated into German, British English, Japanese, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Hebrew, Norwegian and Italian.
She took her foray into the digital world by co-founding the Happy Couple game app in 2014 and has been in private practice specializing in working with couples with sexual problems since 1975 in Mill Valley and San Francisco.
Barbach was co-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology in 1986-87, won honorable mention for the American Medical Writers Association Award for For Yourself in 1978, the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists Third Annual Regional Award in 1978, first place in the National Council on Family Relations Media Awards Competition for the Falling in Love Again video series in 1992, and the award for Significant Contributions to the Field of Psychology through the Media, by the Santa Clara County Psychological Assn in 1992. She was also selected by Howard Schatz for the Gifted Woman project in 1992. [12]
