Research

Shapiro’s research has ranged from a lengthy series of empirical studies on the outcome effectiveness of group therapy, and interview-based studies of fatherhood, psychotherapist training, couple therapy, and the life transition after midlife. A number of journal, book publications, book chapters, and presentations at professional meetings in each area have ensued.

Based on the pioneering empirical effectiveness research on brief closed groups in the 1970s, he developed a vertically-integrated group leader training program. The model program was instituted at the University of Hawaii (1972) and subsequently at Santa Clara University (1982), where it continues.[4] The training involves separate classes in group theory and practice, membership in a training group, advanced class in group leadership, co-leadership of a training group with an experienced professional and finally senior leadership after licensure.

Shapiro’s signature work was a two decade study of the male experience of fatherhood. These interview and clinically-informed studies ranged from expectant fathering (When She’s Pregnant: The Essential Guide for Expectant Fathers, When Men are Pregnant: Needs and Concerns of Expectant Fathers, Becoming a Father) to lifelong fatherhood and father-child interactions (The Measure if a Man: Becoming the Father You Wish Your Father Had Been). Most importantly, the work underscores the psychological influence of a man’s relationship with his own father (or significant male figures) to the manner in which he subsequently approaches his children. His fatherhood work was part of a renewed interest in men and fatherhood that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. Until this time, during most of the twentieth century, parenting and research was almost exclusively focused on motherhood.
