Presenter Information

Glenn S. Lipson was fortunate to have received a postdoctoral fellowship and subsequent position at Menninger’s when it was in Topeka, Kansas. His methods of assessment and thinking have been influenced by that experience as may be seen in his book chapters on both group psychotherapy and stalking. This way of conceptualizing relationships has influenced his work and most recently has been applied to cyber threat assessment and the preventing of misconduct in public and private schools. Dr. Lipson is both a Diplomate in Forensic Psychology and a Full College Professor. He is recognized as a thought leader, frequent presenter and as such was invited to be on the U.S. State Department’s Speakers Bureau.
