Undergraduate Teaching

I currently teach Principles of Abnormal Psychology at the undergraduate level. This course provides an introduction to the field of abnormal psychology. First, we discuss definitions of abnormal psychology and the diagnosis and assessment of emotional disorders. The most commonly occurring disorders will be covered with an emphasis on phenomenology (what it is like to experience the disorder ), etiology (the possible causes of the disorder), and contemporary approaches to treatment. Special attention is paid to controversial topics and current trends in the study of abnormal psychology.

Graduate Teaching

Beginning in Summer 2005, Dr. Brian Chu and I will offer a year-long practicum in the new Lifespan Anxiety and Depression Clinic. The practicum will cover theoretical and empirical research on evidence based treatments and the integration of clinical work and research.

Starting in Fall 2005, I will teach the Personality Theory segment of the Clinical Proseminar. This course will cover classic and contemporary topics in personality, and will include student-led discussions of research and theory.
