Dr. Mic Hunter - The American Barbershop

The American Barber Shop: A Closer Look at a Disappearing Place

On this episode of the Steady Hands Barber Club, we welcome Dr. Mic Hunter to speak with us about traditional barber shop culture and a time when barbering was on the decline.

We are speaking with Dr. Hunter today about his book “The American Barber Shop: A Closer Look at a Disappearing Place”

Dr. Mic Hunter is licensed as both a psychologist & a marriage & family therapist. His psychotherapy practice is in Minnesota, where he also facilitates the couples communication retreat at the Hazelden Foundation. He is the author of numerous books including "Abused Boys: The Neglected Victims Of Sexual Abuse," "Honor Betrayed: Sexual Abuse In America's Military," & "Back To The Source: The Spiritual Principles Of Jesus." Much of his writing & speaking focuses on the practical application of spirituality & the principles of the Twelve Steps to the problems of living. After decades of assisting people with additive disorders and other mental health concerns, psychotherapist Dr. Mic Hunter has a deep-rooted understanding of the struggle to develop and put into practice a meaningful spirituality. He has guided people from all types of backgrounds. He has spoken to professional audiences & the general public throughout North America, England, & Mongolia. He has been interviewed on psychological matters hundreds of times in both the print & broadcast media. He is a recipient of the Fay Honey Knopp Memorial Award, given by the National Organization on Male Sexual Victimization, "For recognition of his contributions to the field of male sexual victimization treatment and knowledge." In 2007 the Board of Directors of Male Survivor announced the creation of The Mic Hunter Award For Research Advances. Dr. Hunter, for whom the on-going award was named, became the first recipient. It was given to him for his, "ceaseless pursuit of knowledge about male sexual abuse in all its occurrences, of the eloquent dissemination of new knowledge in this area, and of the stimulation for further study and concern about revealing, treating and preventing male sexual abuse."

This book we are speaking about was more of a passion project for Dr. Hunter and we are so grateful that it exists.
