Clinical and Health Psychology
 The clinical and health psychology group at the ANU undertakes research and provides research supervision in a range of areas related to better understanding and managing psychological disorders and distress, models of psychological adjustment and the interface between health and psychology. Members of the group teach on the post-graduate professional training programs in clinical psychology (M.Clin Psych., D.Psych, & PhD (Clinical Psychology)) as well as in the undergraduate psychology curriculum in abnormal psychology across the lifespan, personality theory, personality assessment, and health psychology. Our current research includes work on interpersonal functioning and psychological attachment in adolescents and adults, the study of child and family psychology and school psychology, investigations of the relationship between language and psychopathology and on the nature and development of anxiety disorders particularly OCD and PTSD, work on occupational stress and cardiovascular disease, adolescent stress, tobacco use in young people, coping with cancer and its treatment, and the study of illicit drug use. Research supervision is possible in all of these areas.
