History
20th century
Psychology Today was founded in 1967[5] by Nicolas Charney. The goal of the publication is to make psychology literature accessible to the general public.
Psychology Today features reportage and information that looks inward at the workings of the brain and bonds between people. It draws on research reports and interviews with experts on topics, including human motivation, personality development, intelligence, child development, parenting practices, schizophrenia, sexuality, leadership, addiction, anxiety, politics, and human and animal behavior.
Contributors have included Irving Janis, Martin Seligman, Peter Drucker, Abraham Maslow, and others.[6]
In 1976, Psychology Today sold 1,026,872 copies.[5] Its circulation increased to 1,171,362 copies in 1981. In 1986, it decreased to 862,193.[5]
From 1983 to 1987, Psychology Today was owned and managed by the American Psychological Association.[7] The magazine has won several awards from the Society of Publication Designers.[8]
21st century
From June 2010 to June 2011, Psychology Today ranked among the top 10 selling consumer magazines at newsstands.[9]
The website includes a directory of psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals in the U.S. and globally. In June 2021, The New York Times recommended the website as a source for finding therapists.[10]
