Research is focused on large-scale psychosocial intervention trials for psychoses, borderline personality disorder, depression, bulimia, and health problems associated with intellectual, social and emotional development, and epidemiological approaches to investigate causation.
The strong affiliations of the Glasgow Institute for Psychosocial Interventions (GIPSI), and the Glasgow University Centre for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) are beneficial for our research.
GIPSI is a multidisciplinary grouping leading the “research into practice” agenda, with investigation and dissemination of evidence-based CBT practice. Research spans primary and secondary mental health care, using individual, group, and internet self-help CBT treatments.
UCEDD operates the American model, and is networked internationally. Its interdisciplinary approach to high quality research of importance to people with intellectual disabilities is translated into practice and policy.
