RESEARCH INTERESTS
I have received extensive training in philosophy, experimental psychology, organizational behavior and neuroscience (fMRI = functional magnetic resonance imaging). I use each of these disciplines to investigate how the relationship between two fundamentally different modes of cognition - one which can be characterized as empathic-experiential-regulatory processing and the other which can be described as analytic-critical-empirical reasoning – relate to beliefs that don’t ‘fit’ into a naturalistic worldview (e.g., dualism, freewill) and psychological processes underlying effective behavior change. My current research is applying this work to Substance Use Disorder and Recovery.
