I was inspired by the APS Wikipedia initiative to incorporate a new group assignment into my Introduction to Abnormal Psychology course this fall.
I conduct research in five major areas:
- Interpersonal processes that confer potential benefits and risks (e.g., co-rumination, parentification)
- Cross-cultural differences in co-rumination, support seeking and self-disclosure
- Suicidality and suicide prevention
- Prescription privileges for psychologist
- Role of fitness in mental health
I teach courses in areas related to clinical/abnormal psychology including: introductory, seminar and research courses in abnormal psychology, theories of counseling and psychotherapy, psychological assessment, research methods.

Go edit somewhere else on Wikipedia for a few days; Wikipedia has millions of nice and quiet pages to work on. Meanwhile, you may think of a solution that everyone will be happy with which you can bring to the talk page. When you come back, stay calm and keep your involvement in the dispute on the talk page.
