Indiana Black Expo Welcomes Psychology of Hip Hop author

Author of the highly controversial tome about the psychological impact of Hip Hop, Mental Health Therapist, and Personal Advisor to the stars Terence McPhaul, is signing his latest book, The Psychology of Hip Hop at this year’s Indiana Black Expo July 7th through July 17th. IBE attracts more than 300,000 visitors during the ten day event. McPhaul, an Indiana native, is a graduate of the former Madison Heights High in Anderson. McPhaul states, The work IBE does impacts not just people of color, but everyone, which is why I want to be part of it.

The former Hazardous Materials Chemist and red carpet regular wrote the best-selling treatise The Celebrity Psyche, which provided a treasure map into the minds of numerous celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Sean 'P.Diddy' Combs, Bill Gates, Jennifer Lopez and Martha Stewart. McPhaul’s latest release, The Psychology of Hip Hop, has received global attention because of its candid assessment of hip hop music, and hip hop’s impact on human behavior.

Known for his unapologetic delivery of the facts, McPhaul states the he was previously “warned” against writing about Federal Judge Sarah Evans-Barker in a chapter from his book called Law: Liars and Weasels. I have been threatened by members of the Hip Hop community who did not want to be written about, like Marion ‘Suge’ Knight, Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs and R. Kelly, so I guess I should not have been surprised when Judge Barker dispatched her Marshals, says McPhaul. Being released later this summer is McPhaul’s book Psycho? The Unauthorized Biography of Sean 'P.Diddy' Combs.

McPhaul is regularly sought by program directors of TV talk shows and national media as an expert in the field of Mental Health, to deliver perspective or respond to programming regarding social and behavioral issues. McPhaul has appeared as a Mental Health expert for Court TV, and Bill O’Reilly’s The O’Reilly Factor for FOX News.
