Susan Pick
Susan Pick is a Mexican psychologist and the founder and president of the Mexican Institute for Family and Population Research (IMIFAP-Yo Quiero, Yo Puedo). She has her Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of London. For her dissertation, she studied rural Mexico and the way in which social and cultural norms effected decision making and subsequent actions of women there. This research inspired the mission of IMIFAP-Yo Quiero, Yo Puedo and led to further investigations into the social barriers that prevent human change and development. She is the author of ''Breaking the Poverty Cycle: The Human Basis for Sustainable Development'', which details her studies and her subsequent theory for social change, FrEE (Framework for Enabling Empowerment).〔Pick, Susan and Jenna T. Sirkin. Breaking the Poverty Cycle: The Human Basis for Sustainable Development. New York: Oxford University Press, 2010. Print.〕 She received the “Distinguished International Psychologist Award” from the American Psychological Association in 2002 and the “Distinguished Professional Award” from the International Association of Applied Psychology in 2006.
== Background ==
Susan Pick was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico to German refugee parents who had fled the country just before World War II. Pick claims her childhood brought into question for her some of the differences between the social mindset of her European family and that of her Mexican peers. It influenced her interest in social psychology and served as inspiration for her later research.〔Pick and Sirkin, 2010, pg. ix-xii; 11-15〕
In 1975, she received her bachelor’s in social psychology from the London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), and then began Ph.D. research at that school..〔"Susan Pick Profile".

Her doctoral thesis research suggests that, although many of the women in these communities liked the idea of family planning, they lacked the possibility to use contraception because they did not know how use it, lacked access, feared social scrutiny, or, most importantly, believed that they did not have the right to make these decisions about their health. Her study indicated that the women were incapacitated by feelings of guilt, shame, fear, resentment, and prejudice. With this finding, Pick suggested that the reason why many health programs were unsuccessful in reducing unwanted pregnancies was because their sexuality education models did not confront the psychosocial barriers, which were ultimately preventing young women from using contraception.〔Pick de Weiss, S.
