Remembering Phil Zimbardo (1933-2024)


From the Stanford Prison Experiment to time perspective theory, Phil Zimbardo left his mark on the field of psychology.

We conducted several online TPT courses and trained hundreds of Polish mental-health professionals intent on learning ways to help their citizens as well as the unexpected influx of refugees escaping Ukraine following Russia’s invasion. On Monday, October 14, 2024, at the age of 91, my dear friend Phil peacefully passed away surrounded by his loving wife Christina Maslach —a giant in the field of psychology in her own right—and their children at his home in San Francisco. And yet, it brings me great pride to share that the final book Phil and I contributed to was released on September 27, 2024 and is titled The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 40 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew.
