I've visited Main Streets in 178 cities, in 14 countries, and counting. What I learned is that WE and Main Street are intertwined and interdependent. Our lives are linked in an infinite number of ways.

About Me

My photo
Mindy Thompson Fullilove
I am a social psychiatrist. This field of psychiatry is interested in the ways in which social life affects mental health. I am the Helen and Robert Fullilove Professor of Community Health at the University of Orange and a professor emeritus at The New School. My work focuses on cities. I have spent a lot of time traveling in France with Michel Cantal-Dupart, a famous urbanist. I have written several books, including Root Shock: How Tearing Up City Neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It and Urban Alchemy: Restoring Joy in America's Sorted-Out Cities. The third book in the urban restoration trilogy, Main Street, was published in October 2020. During the Covid pandemic, I became a devoted fan of K-drama and started a book, The Tao of K-drama.
