The Psychology of Hip Hop
By Terence McPhaul

Release Date: March 2005
Available at local Retailers and Amazon.com


Terence McPhaul, Mental Health Therapist to the Stars, and author of The Celebrity Psyche introduces his latest provocative undertaking The Psychology of Hip Hop; the book that many in the entertainment industry have tried to keep subdued. With chapters such as LAW: Liars and Weasels (featuring a profile of Federal Judge Sarah Evans Barker), Pop Diva Takes a Dive and No White Lady I Don’t Want Your Purse, readers will find The Psychology of Hip Hop conspicuously difficult to dismiss.

McPhaul’s latest book reveals how the Hip Hop culture has abducted the well being of the public, and how entertainers, athletes and others in the public eye have become victims of the negative influences and consequences of Hip Hop.

The Psychology of Hip Hop presents the first critical, psychological examination into the emotional underpinnings and behavior of some of the world’s biggest Hip Hop stars. 50Cent, Jay Z, Ludacris, Ja Rule, Eminem, Usher, TI, Lil’ Kim, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Marion “Suge” Knight and Sean “P.Diddy” Combs are only some of those surveyed in this compelling chronicle.

In the chapter R. Kelly, Prodigy or Sexual Predator? McPhaul delivers a soul stirring dissection of R. Kelly’s psyche. The Psychology of Hip Hop also unveils the ignoble manner in which McPhaul was ushered away from Jive Records, upon urging the record company to help R. Kelly (The Pied Piper) to seek treatment for his affinity towards children.

Likewise, the book examines The Exploitation of B2K, and reveals the problems that transpire when adults insidiously manipulate and take advantage of mere children.

Regularly sought by media as an expert in the field of Mental Health, to deliver perspective or respond to programming regarding social and behavioral issues, McPhaul offers the lucidity that only a true insider can deliver, and The Psychology of Hip Hop even unearths little known facts about the deaths of Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. of which the public will be made aware for the very first time. McPhaul has appeared as an expert for Court TV and Bill O’Reilly’s The O’Reilly Factor for FOX News.
