Research Press

Research Press is an independent, family-owned business founded in 1968 by Robert W. Parkinson (1920-2001) and incorporated in 1970. Over the course of the last five decades, the company has worked diligently to build a reputation for publishing practical and effective educational and mental health resources for counselors and educators. Research Press was built upon a foundation of offerings from many preeminent names in the field of psychology. Many publications from these authors and scholars continue to be applicable today and are still available in the Research Press library of trusted titles. Joining the esteemed ranks of these Research Press contributors in the 1980s, Dr. Arnold P. Goldstein developed the groundbreaking first edition of Skillstreaming the Adolescent®. This marked the beginning of a new era for Research Press, publishing school-based intervention programs for working with youth targeting the development of social-emotional skills (SEL). Since the introduction of Skillstreaming the Adolescent®, Research Press has continued to carefully curate and add titles from other respected authors with the goal of publishing user-friendly and effective prevention and intervention programs. Over the years, Research Press gradually evolved into publishing materials focused on educational settings. Countless professionals continue to experience tremendous success with intervention programs. More recently, Research Press has introduced educators and counselors worldwide to a new set of authors, adding to our growing list of practical intervention resources focusing on children and adolescents. In addition to offering an abundance of highly-respected and evidence-based titles, Research Press prides itself on being family owned and customer focused.
