MICHAEL BRODER
PSYCHOLOGIST
 For
three decades MICHAEL S. BRODER, PhD, has been a psychologist,
author, speaker and seminar leader for lay and professional
audiences. His work centers around bringing about major change in the
shortest time possible. Dr. Broder has conducted a private
practice for over 32 years in Center City, Philadelphia, where
he has treated thousands of clients in short-term,
results-oriented psychotherapy.
He is the
author of the popular books, The Art of Living Single,
which has been referred to by the Book of the Month Club and
others as “the bible for singles” (Rawson/Macmillan, 1988 and
Avon, 1990), now in it’s sixteenth printing and The Art of
Staying Together (Hyperion, 1993 and Avon, 1994). Both books have been widely excerpted and quoted
and are published in numerous foreign editions. This was
followed by: Can Your Relationship Be Saved? How To Know
Whether To Stay Or Go (Impact, 2002) which thus far has been
published in six languages. With his wife and colleague, Dr.
Arlene Goldman, he co-authored Psychology Today: Secrets of
Sexual Ecstasy for Alpha Books, as well as numerous articles
for many professional and popular publications.
Dr.
Broder’s audio programs include Positive Attitude Training
(1991)—one of Nightingale Conant’s best selling albums (also
with a highly successful two cassette Simon and Schuster
Sound Ideas retail version); Self-Actualization:
Achieving Your Full Potential (1993), which was the first
self help program ever to create action steps for Abraham
Maslow’s legendary and pioneering self actualization theory
(also Nightingale Conant), as well as The Therapist’s
Assistant™ Volumes I and II (1994 and 1995), designed for
use by therapists around the world as an important part of their
treatment protocol for homework. Dr. Broder's Help Yourself™
Audiotherapy Program, with programs on anxiety, depression,
anger, stress management, self-confidence, making major life
changes as well as a comprehensive range of relationship topics
have all been heavily used throughout the English speaking
world since 1994.
Dr. Broder
earned his Ph.D. at Temple University in
Philadelphia. In the 1970s, he was trained and personally
supervised by the late Dr. Albert Ellis at the Institute for
Rational Emotive Therapy (which eventually became the Albert
Ellis Institute) in New York City. Dr. Ellis was one of the
originators of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — today’s most
practiced form of psychotherapy. Between 1981 and 1990, Dr.
Broder directed the Philadelphia Institute for Rational Emotive
Therapy where he and his staff trained over 1000 mental health
professionals locally. In 2003, he was appointed interim
Executive Director of the Albert Ellis Institute in New York
City on a temporary (two year) basis in order to oversee its
difficult transition to the post Albert Ellis era.
In 1987,
he founded Media Psychology Associates (MPA). MPA
provides training and consultation services to a wide variety of
clients, including employee assistance programs, law
enforcement, industrial, educational and governmental
organizations.

psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health
professionals in the USA, Canada and England in cognitive
behavioral protocols for short-term, results-oriented
strategies for psychotherapy.
In 1995 he
was awarded a five-year contract by the Philadelphia Police
Department (PPD) — one of this nation’s most beleaguered,
and controversial law enforcement agencies — to be Stress
Manager (Chief Psychologist). His role was to modify and oversee
all psychological and counseling services, the Department’s
stress management training programs at all levels and various
policies regarding stress. PPD’s employee assistance program
with the brief peer counseling component remains a model for law
enforcement agencies today.

proponent of media psychology, Dr. Broder is past president of
the Media Psychology Division of the American
Psychological Association (APA) where he developed and conducted

the skills of the electronic and print media. . His media
