I was inspired by the APS Wikipedia initiative to incorporate a new group assignment into my Introduction to Abnormal Psychology course this fall.
I conduct research in five major areas:
- Interpersonal processes that confer potential benefits and risks (e.g., co-rumination, parentification)
- Cross-cultural differences in co-rumination, support seeking and self-disclosure
- Suicidality and suicide prevention
- Prescription privileges for psychologist
- Role of fitness in mental health
I teach courses in areas related to clinical/abnormal psychology including: introductory, seminar and research courses in abnormal psychology, theories of counseling and psychotherapy, psychological assessment, research methods.

Neologisms include words made up on the spot and these should never be used in a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia relies on established English to explain its subjects. It is important that every word in Wikipedia can be understood by those who read it. This ensures that Wikipedia always conveys accessible and meaningful knowledge. – – Read more: |
