Research Interest
General interests include self-defeating behavior, change processes, and the self. I have also looked at the expectation of unpleasant events and choosing to suffer, areas that are again of interest with terrorism becoming so much part of our consciousness. With degrees in both clinical and social psychology, I am interested in both social realities and intrapsychic fantasies.
