ABOUT MEGALITHIC PSYCHOLOGY, INC.
A megalith is a large stone that has been used to construct a structure or monument, either alone or together with other stones. The adjective megalithic describes structures made of such large stones without the use of mortar or concrete, as well as the periods of prehistory characterized by such constructions. Megalithic Psychology is a delicate double entendre representing a fusion of the mystery of history with psychology. As both topics require careful analysis and consideration, and both topics are rich in historical context, Megalithic Psychology just makes sense.
BayADHD is a subsidiary of Megalithic Psychology, Inc., where we devote our expertise in assessment to the diagnostic evaluation of ADHD.
