Why Denver is a Great Place to Study Psychology
Denver is a city with a notable history of combating mental illness, including its status as host of the Denver Children's Home, the oldest non-profit mental health organization in Colorado, which was founded in 1876. It has also achieved notoriety in recent history, as the spawning ground of the Love Your Relationship phenomenon, co-founded by University of Denver psychology professor Howard Markman as part of the up-and-coming field of couples research, which is based on the idea that a marriage can be worked on and improved therapeutically in group settings prior to encountering trouble. And pop psych phenomena aside, even in the Mile High City there will always be a few people who are feeling low, so if you want a city with a lofty altitude and an innovative attitude, Denver may be just the place for you to pursue your psychology aspirations.
