Research interests

My research interests include an examination of the role of social factors in the aetiology and treatment of psychopathology, the contribution of cognitions in generating anxiety and depression as well as the role of a clinical psychologist as defined by scientific method.  I am also interested in examining and understanding the principles and practice of causal analysis in scientific psychology.
