Barbara Long, M.D., Ph.D. (www.barbaralongmdphd.com) is a mother of two children and a Board-certified psychiatrist with over 30 years of experience working with young people and their parents, both professionally and as a volunteer and interviewer for Harvard College. In 2009, the Harvard College Office of Undergraduate Admissions awarded her a Hiram Hunn Award for her service. Her first book, Keep Your Eye on the Prize—a Young Person’s Guidebook to Adulthood (www.keepyoureyeontheprize.org) teaches the major life skills needed for a good life. She gives eight hour-long lessons on the most important of these life skills in her Legacy of Life Series (www.legacyoflifeseries.com). Her most recent book, Hold Onto Your Hat!—Handling the Roller Coaster Emotions of the College Application Process (www.holdontoyourhat.org), takes on the “roller coaster” emotions many parents and students feel as admission rates, especially for the top colleges, have plummeted, while uncertainty has increased. The book describes the emotional stages of the process and teaches students and parents the emotional skills they need to handle the stress with resilience and calm.
