Dr. Tyler received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Ohio State University in 1952. He joined the faculty in 1969 and served as program Director from then until 1980. Since receiving his degree, the scope of his interests has continued to broaden and diversify. He has worked in the fields of clinical, developmental, aging, community, and cross-cultural psychology. His integrative focus has been the development of psychosocial competence perspectives and their application to understanding and enriching human activities within individual, community, ethnic/racial and cultural contexts.
