Association for Contextual Behavioral Science

 

There's something special about Lafayette.  I first entered the Psychology Department at UL Lafayette as a student 13 years ago. This month, I returned as an Assistant Professor of Psychology. I've not been back but a few days, and I can feel it, though I'm having trouble articulating it. I think it's something to do with people being there by choice. People don't just reside in Lafayette, they Live here, with intention and commitment. 

 

I'm so pleased to be joining this group of diverse, bright, and quirky individuals. I'm just getting a sense, as well, of what my work here will look like. (Funny - I knew exactly what I wanted when I was writing all those personal statements.) I've done most of my applied and basic research in the area of disordered eating and body image, and I plan to continue that line of research, using mostly basic and analog methodologies. I am open to supervising research broadly in ACT, RFT, or BA. I teach a General Psychology class to Psych majors, a Psychopathology class to graduate students, and a pretty bizarre Psychology of Adjustment class to unassuming nonmajors. I will be supervising Applied and Counseling grad students in ACT.

 

Please don't hesitate to email or call me if you have any questions about the department or the degree programs we offer. I'd love to talk more with anyone interested about what I'm trying to build here.
