PROFESSOR'S BIOGRAPHY
Raised in New York, with strong Italian immigrant roots, Davis worked in his father's Italian bakery and his uncle's butcher shop. One summer, he even worked in a candle-making shop, thus giving him the interesting distinction of having been a "baker, a butcher, a candlestick maker!"
Dr. J. Davis Mannino is Professor of Psychology and a Psychologist. Dr. Mannino is past Chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences, which includes the disciplines of Anthropology, Sociology, and Psychology. He teaches Human Sexuality (Psych 03), Introduction to Psychology (Psych 1A), and Aging, Dying, & Death (Psych 56). He is a psychologist and licensed psychotherapist in practice since 1979 --- yes, that's over four decades, in case you are poor at math. :-)
In January, 2022, Dr. Mannino will hit a major milestone! He will have been teaching college level courses for over 51 years, having begun his college teaching career in West Virgina in 1969 and in California beginning at City College of San Francisco in 1972! He has been teaching at SRJC for over 30 years --- since 1990 (Associate and Fulltime).
Dr. Mannino is the author of six books including: Grieving Days, Healing Days published by Allyn & Bacon (Simon & Schuster) and Sexually Speaking published by McGraw-Hill. A third book, Grave Concerns, based on newspaper columns he has written over the past several years followed next. A fourth book, Human Sexuality: Exercises and Activities, was published. A fifth book, a major college textbook entitled Sexual Themes and Variations, soon followed as a result of a contract with McGraw-Hill. A sixth book, a psychology workbook entitled The PsychAide: Introduction to Psychology, now joins Dr Mannino's publishing accomplishments. All textbooks are revised as needed in an ongoing process of excellence.
Professor Mannino also taught at over half a dozen colleges and universities around the world, including the University of Malaysia, while serving as a United States Peace Corps Volunteer between the years of 1974-1975.
