Ray Paloutzian gave a one-of-a-kind introduction of Lee Kirkpatrick at the 2010 SPSP 2010 preconference on religion and spirituality. Fortunately for us, what happened in Vegas needn't stay in Vegas!
For the lyrics, click on this link, and then click the "More Info" link in the upper-right corner, under the name "Boofshavik". Yes, it sounds like a lot of steps but it is worth it to read the many different ways that Kirkpatrick has contributed to the field. Social psychology, attachment, evolutionary psychology... and fortunately for us, Kirkpatrick isn't done yet!
