Mercer University School of Medicine will host Dr. Rick Weinberg as part of the 2025 Armour Lecture Series in collaboration with the Georgia Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. The annual event highlights current topics in marriage and family therapy and is open to students, faculty, staff, and community members.
Dr. Weinberg, a clinical associate professor in the Department of Child and Family Studies at the University of South Florida, will present his lecture “Using Neurobiology and Positive Psychology to Reawaken Love and Advance Couple and Family Therapy” in the Administration and Conference Center Auditorium on Mercer University’s Cecil B. Day Graduate and Professional Campus in Atlanta on September 26. The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with lunch provided for all attendees. Students and Mercer faculty may attend at a discounted price.
Dr. Weinberg earned a Bachelor of Arts cum laude from the University of Michigan, a Ph.D. in clinical-community psychology from the University of South Florida, and completed a clinical fellowship at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. He has been licensed in Florida since 1984 and maintains a clinical practice in Tampa. Currently, he teaches marital therapy, family therapy, and group therapy at the graduate level, and behavioral health and the family for undergraduates.
The Armour Family Therapy Lecture series is made possible by a gift from retired faculty members Drs. Mary Anne and Rollin Armour upon their retirement in 1998. Dr. Mary Anne Armour, who came to the School of Medicine in 1982, established the medical student program in family and psychological issues and founded Mercer’s master’s program in family therapy in 1983. Students in Mercer’s Master of Family Therapy program are encouraged to attend to learn about recent findings in interpersonal neuroscience, relationship science, and positive psychology applicable to couple and family therapy.
