  • Comment: I suspect he could be notable, but there isn't enough here to make that case. Looking at the article's references, almost all are written by the subject so are clearly not independent. The journal webpages give him passing mention but nothing in detail. The book reviews contribute to the notability of the books but do not convince me of the notability of the subject. Of the other articles, the subject is cited but not discussed as having made a substantial impact. The subject might meet WP:NPROF#C1 or WP:NPROF#C7 but I feel you need to do more to demonstrate this. What is his significant contribution? Phrases like contributes to the development of the field don't get me there. The article also has unsourced material, including his WP:DOB and other possible WP:BLPPRIVACY concerns. The "Notable Contributions" section should be written in prose, and the extra line breaks should be removed from the "Publications" section. Mgp28 (talk) 11:01, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Kenneth Joel Shapiro (August 24, 1943 - ) is an American clinical psychologist, Human-Animal Studies (HAS) scholar, and career animal advocate[1][2] Shapiro attended Harvard University, where he received a BA in American History and Literature, and later Duke University, where he earned his Ph.D. in Clinical and Personality Psychology[3]. Shapiro cofounded Psychologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PSYeta), a nonprofit organization devoted to the critique of lab-based animal research. In 2007, PSYeta morphed into the Animals & Society Institute (ASI), a think tank on human-animal relationships and issues related to the treatment of nonhuman animals.

Shapiro has played a number of roles in the development of HAS[4], both as a scholar and organizer and founder of two journals and numerous projects that have facilitated the field's growth. He is the founding editor of Society & Animals.[5], the cofounding editor of the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Society[6], and the founding editor of the Brill Human-Animal Studies book series.[7]

He is the author of three books on animal issues, and is the lead author of the only published interventions for the assessment and treatment of juveniles and adults who abuse animals, through the development of the AniCare Approach.[8][9][10][11] Shapiro has published articles on a wide range of animal and animal advocacy issues, including vegetarianism, animal advocacy, the state of HAS, methods of accessing the experience of other animals, future of zoos, and the effects of captivity on animals.

Notable Contributions

[edit]

Shapiro has been a vocal contributor to the genesis, scope, and development of the field of Human-Animal Studies. His critique of laboratory-based animal research is science-based and focuses on the impact of animal models on the relevant clinical interventions. He also developed phenomenological-based methods for the social sciences, including their application to human-animal relationships.

Career

[edit]

Academic Career

[edit]

Beginning as a teaching assistance at Duke University in 1967, Shapiro has served as an instructor, lecturer, and assistant professor at a number of academic institutions, including SUNY's Upstate Medical University, Bates College, Arizona State University, and Sheffield City Polytechnic (UK).[3] He has co-led summer institutes at North Carolina State, Michigan State, Duke, Clark, Wesleyan, and the University of Illinois at Champagne-Urbana.

Development of the Field of Human-Animal Studies

[edit]

Through founding and editing Society and Animals for 30 years, cofounding and editing the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science for 24 years, and founding and editing the Brill Human-Animal Studies book series, Shapiro was a major contributor to the genesis, scope, and development to of the field of HAS.[3][7] His articles on the state of the field have been cited more than 100 times has supported the development of the interdisciplinary field of Human-Animal Studies since the 1970s.[12][13] Other projects include: an annual award for the best HAS courses in partnership with the Humane Society of the United States Shapiro’s projects included: an annual award for the best courses in partnership with the Humane Society of the United States [14]; a program providing financial support and expertise to non-US universities to build their academic offerings (Human-Animal Studies International Development Project – recipients were Universities of Milan, Lisbon, Innsbruck, Cape Town, and Athens); partnering with universities to convene residential summer institutes in HAS for graduate students and recent PhDs (2007-22– hosting universities were North Carolina State, Michigan State, Duke, Clark, Wesleyan, and Illinois at Champagne-Urbana).[15][16]

Psychological Interventions for Individuals Who Abuse Animals

[edit]

Prompted by the body of research establishing a link between animal abuse and violence against humans, Shapiro developed psychological interventions for the assessment and treatment of juveniles and adults who abuse animals.[17][18] The AniCare Model of Treatment for Animal Abuse is regarded as "the first published intervention for adults that engage in animal cruelty.”[19] “AniCare Child…. is generally considered to be the gold standard for treating this behavior [animal abuse].”[20] Shapiro co-led and/or organized 60 workshops in 22 states for clinical providers in social work, psychology, and counseling. A diversion program based on the clinical interventions Behavior, Accountability, Responsibility, and Knowledge (BARK) is under development. Shapiro's review of the literature has been cited more than 100 times.[21]

The Critique of Laboratory-Based Animal Research

[edit]

With the publication of Animal models of human psychology: A critique of science, ethics, and policy,, "Shapiro has made an extremely valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on the use of animals in research."[22] Rejecting the emphasis in the debate on the degree of similarity or difference between an animal model and the targeted human phenomenon (animal model fidelity),[23][24] Shapiro offers an empirically-based critical alternative that keys on the actual limited influence of an animal model on relevant clinical interventions.

"Shapiro and Field's scale measuring the invasiveness of laboratory procedures involving animals is a very real contribution that encourages us to evaluate the damage we do to animals and to ourselves when we engage in animal modeling."[25][26]

Phenomenological Psychology

[edit]

Shapiro has published two works that have influenced[27] phenomenological psychology: Bodily Reflective Modes: A phenomenological method for psychology[28], and The Experience of Introversion: An integration of phenomenological, empirical, and Jungian approaches.[29] [30] Donald E. Polkinghorne found Bodily Reflective Modes to be "an exciting book [that] offer[s] a well-developed and philosophically grounded method of phenomenological research."[31] Polkinghorne offered "The Experience of Introversion" as the primary example of "...the syncretic use of multiple methods, or the process of using research that integrates evidence from different methods.

Shapiro's paper on the lived experience of dogs has garnered more than 100 citations on Research Gate. He is one of the several phenomenologists who have "pioneered [in] advocat[ing[ a recognition of the subjectivity of animals... in animal ethics."[32]
