Associate Professor

BA (Memphis); MA, PhD (York)

My main research interests center around historical, theoretical, and philosophical issues in psychology. Recent research has been on developing a critical history of clinical psychology, focussing on topics such as the development of various statistical tests and methods to support professional practice and the influence of third-party payers on psychotherapy and psychotherapy research. Past research includes a history of the measurement of the self and self-esteem and the life and work of Julian Jaynes. Other interests involve psychoanalysis, qualitative research methods, and historical perspectives on consciousness.
