Much of Singal's writing deals with the social sciences, and he previously edited ''New York'' magazine's behavioral-science vertical, "Science of Us". In 2021, he published a book, ''The Quick Fix'', about the failings of popular psychology. Singal's writing on transgender issues has attracted controversy, particularly in his 2018 cover story for ''The Atlantic'', "When Children Say They're Trans".

Singal's political orientation has often been described as liberal but "heterodox", though he has expressed an aversion to the latter term as a descriptor of his work. Provided by Wikipedia
