  Dr. Hook first developed her interest in women's issues when she was a child and loved to watch Wonder Woman and read biographies about famous women. She continued that interest in women's issues while earning her degree in psychology from Trinity University and during her tenure as a research assistant for the Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces. While completing her master's degree in Counseling Psychology at the Universityof Kansas, Dr. Hook expanded her interest in gender to include men's issues. By the time she earned her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at Ball State University she was specializing in counseling couples and family with an emphasis on the impact of gender within overall systems. Dr. Hook continued to emphasize gender in her work as an assistant professor of psychology at Texas Woman's University where she taught graduate classes in family psychology, the psychology of mothering, social psychology, counseling, and undergraduate classes in the psychology of women. Dr. Hook advocates the use of gender issues in everyday living and incorporates it in her work in private practice.
