Research Press is an independent, family-owned business
founded in 1968 by Robert W. Parkinson (1920-2001).
During the past 40 years, the company has earned a solid reputation
for publishing practical and effective educational and mental health resources.
Authors from the early years include well-known names in the field of psychology,
such as B.F. Skinner, Albert Ellis, Gerald Patterson, Wesley Becker, John Gottman,
Richard Foxx, Arnold Lazarus, and Joseph Cautela. Many of their publications have
stood the test of time and are still included in the Research Press line.
In the 1980s, Arnold Goldstein and Ellen McGinnis joined the ranks of Research Press
authors, and the first edition of Skillstreaming was published. From that
point on, Research Press began a new era of publishing school-based intervention
programs for working with youth. You may recognize authors such as Myrna Shure,
Maurice Elias, and Deborah Prothrow-Stith.
Our goal is to continue to publish user-friendly and effective prevention and
intervention programs. During the past several years, we have increased the number
of titles available from Research Press by offering new and best-selling titles
from other publishers. We have carefully selected these titles to complement our
well-respected line of high quality, reasonably priced publications.
You'll enjoy doing business with Research Press. We like to keep things simple,
efficient, and easy. Call us during business hours, and you'll be connected to
a real person, not a voice mail system. We'll be happy to answer questions,
provide content information, help you complete an order, or make recommendations
based on your particular needs.
