First Part of a Three Part Series with Four Leading Psychologists Talking About Hypospadias and Emotions

This episode of Hypospadias Conversations brings together pediatric psychologists from leading children’s hospitals to discuss the emotional, developmental, and relationship aspects of living with hypospadias. Co-hosts John and Bonnie speak with four psychologists: Lillian Hayes, Ph.D., Jackie L. Papadakis, Ph.D., Jennifer Hansen Moore, Ph.D. and Jeffrey S. Garofano, Ph.D. The conversation focuses on how parents can support children from infancy through adulthood, how shame and anxiety develop, and how openness, self-understanding, and supportive relationships can improve long-term emotional wellbeing.
