Greetings:  My research interest focuses primarily on mind-body medicine and the ability of contemplative practices such as guided visual imagery, hypnosis, and meditation to affect healing.  I am also interested in the psychological characteristics of online students, and of student veterans.

 

Please feel free to read my CV.

 

I also invite you to read my very occasionally updated reviews of the research relevant to these interests at my blog, Coherence.

 

I am a member of the Association for Psychological Science (APS), which actively promotes the science of psychology; and of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), one of the foremost sources for legitimate training in hypnosis.  I am also a member of the Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education (ACMHE), a new organization intended to explore how mindfulness can be capitalized in college and university.

 

On campus, I currently serve as the chair of the Institutional Review Board, as well as of the Online Course Peer Review Committee.  I am also involved with the College within Your Reach Program, which seeks to motivate middle school and high school students to attend college.

 

Department Philosophy:  The Psychology Department of Inver Hills Community College seeks to foster a scientific approach to the study of behavior and mental processes.  The department offers a curriculum designed to serve students who will earn an A.A. degree and do upper-division work, and perhaps graduate work, in psychology.  Our classes are relevant to those who intend to continue their formal education in career programs, such as nursing and those who plan to take one or several courses at Inver Hills Community College in pursuit of other learning goals.  We work to promote the belief that gaining knowledge through the discipline of psychology will enhance personal lives and develop responsible and educated citizens.

 

Career Paths in Psychology:  If you are curious about a career in psychology, I invite you to read this brief review of information I have prepared on psychology at Inver Hills and beyond.

 

If you are thinking about transferring to another school after Inver Hills Community College, you might find the College Navigator to be helpful.
