Joyce Diane Brothers (October 20, 1927 – May 13, 2013) was an American psychologist, television personality, advice columnist, and writer.
She became famous in 1955 for winning the top prize on the American game show The $64,000 Question.[1] Her fame from the game show allowed her to go on to host various advice columns and television shows, which established her as a pioneer in the field of "pop (popular) psychology".
Brothers is often credited as the first to normalize psychological concepts to the American mainstream.[1] Her syndicated columns were featured in newspapers and magazines, including a monthly column for Good Housekeeping, in which she contributed for nearly 40 years.[2] As Brothers quickly became the "face of psychology" for American audiences, she appeared in numerous television roles, usually as herself.[3] From the 1970s onward, she also began to accept fictional roles that mocked her "woman psychologist" persona.[4] She is noted for working continuously for five decades across various platforms.[1] Numerous groups recognized Brothers for her strong leadership as a woman in the psychology field and for trying to end the stigma around mental health.
