Research interests
My principle research interests centre on the psychophysiology, neuroimaging and treatment of first episode psychosis, schizophrenia and major depression. This work is principally carried out at the Brain Dynamics Centre at Westmead Hospital.
Treatment research has included randomised controlled trials of computer assisted cognitive remediation, CBT for substance abuse in young peole with psychosis and industry sponsored pharmaceutical trials.
I am also conducting research into clinical reasoning and how we are teaching it in the Psychiatry teaching program of the School.
