Research interests
Dr Louise Beattie has primary research interests which broadly span sleep disruption, psychosis, socio-emotional factors (including autism), and their interactions.

As a Daphne Jackson Fellow funded by Medical Research Scotland, Louise will be investigating sleep and emotional distress within early psychosis. Using mixed methods Dr Beattie will research these factors across the psychosis trajectory. This work will be undertaken from a cognitive psychology perspective, and aims to be clinically useful and solution-focussed. Louise will be working closely with Professors Andrew Gumley, Stephany Biello and Peter Uhlhaas during her Fellowship.
