Dorree Lynn
Dorree Waldbaum Lynn, Ph.D. (born 1941) is a practicing psychologist, author and media expert on aging and life over fifty. She is best known for her unique belief that those over fifty are true pioneers as they are living longer than any generation in history and therefore have much to learn and much to teach. She focuses on spreading the word that it is possible to sage with zest and encourages the over fifty population to experience refirement, instead of retirement. Dr. Dorree is regarded as an expert in mental health issues for people over age 50, a group that currently encompasses both the "Baby Boomers" and the "Silent Generation." She has written numerous articles for organizations focused on aging, such as The American Society for Aging and AARP, and she is founder of the website FiftyandFurthermore.com 1. Dr. Dorree is AARP's media sexpert on relationships and intimacy in the “On The Couch” segment of the new TV program My Generation, produced by AARP. She also has a third book coming out in Spring 2010 on [...] Over Fifty that will be published by HCI.
Dr. Dorree co-founded The Institute for the Advanced Study of Psychotherapy, an organization dedicated to the educational pursuits of psychologists and psychotherapists regardless of specialty.
She has also been profiled as the in-house therapist providing the 50+ psychological perspectives on CBS Market Watch, ABC's Good Morning America, CNN, Court TV, Fox News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume, MSNBC, PBS, and VH1.
