Biography
Jamie Murphy, Professor in School of Psychology at Ulster University, Jamie Murphy is a Reader in psychology and a member of the Psychology Research Institute at Ulster University.

Challenging traditional disease based conceptualisations of psychosis, Jamie’s research has demonstrated that extreme perceptual, belief and behavioural abnormalities such as hallucinations, delusions and mania often emerge in, and can be understood against, a context of extreme life trauma and adversity.
Research Interest
