About Armand DiMele
Armand DiMele (1939–2017) was a visionary psychotherapist, teacher, and radio host whose life's work was devoted to helping people live with greater awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being. In 1982, he created The Positive Mind, a pioneering radio program that brought thoughtful conversations about psychology, relationships, spirituality, and personal growth into the lives of countless listeners, helping make mental health more approachable and accessible.
Armand believed that healing begins with curiosity, compassion, and genuine human connection. His integrative approach drew from psychotherapy, philosophy, mindfulness, and holistic wellness, encouraging people not only to overcome life's challenges but to grow through them.
His vision continues to live on through The Positive Mind Center and The Positive Mind radio program, carrying forward his commitment to creating spaces where learning, healing, and meaningful conversation can flourish.

The Positive Mind Podcast
From a Listener: "On November 28, 2017 I listened to a remarkable show on WBAI. The Positive Mind presented a discussion about motherhood, postpartum depression and the changes and challenges new mothers face. The show's guest, Paige Bellenbaum, was as good as guests get — I continue to reflect on how informative and accessible and real the show was, and how very engaged Paige was with her subject. When the host invited listeners to call in, the conversations that followed were remarkable. They were somehow intimate and universal at the same time. The callers were really embraced —and helped— by Ms Bellenbaum's compassion and understanding. Host Kevin O'Donoghue grasped and appreciated the subject so easily and, it seemed, intuitively and he led a very valuable discussion skillfully and compassionately. He was very comfortable being part of a discussion about women's health and the plight of mothers. The important conversation between Paige and the show's host, Kevin O'Donoghue, really raised the bar for the station's interviews and for conversations with listeners"
