related issues, particularly related to growth and development, and sexuality and behavioral issues. Trish is actively involved in community service organizations and in her church. She has also participated in mission work delivering health care to children and adolescents, but she mostly likes sticking close to home, where her two girls, Anne Claire and Maehler, keep her busy with little girl versions of Girlology.
Girlology has become a recognized and welcomed program in the Southeast that is ripe for broad distribution. Girlology’s focus on suburban girls and families serves an often neglected population that is over-scheduled, undersupervised and frequently oversexed. Both Dr. Holmes and Dr. Hutchison are known for their rapport with teen girls and their liberal use of slang words for anything pertaining to sex or the human body. Their husbands can only hope that they censor their vocabulary in public, and their mothers keep wishing they would act like proper Southern girls.
