Biography
Harvard Medical School
After receiving my Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Oregon, I have been at the University of New Mexico since 1976, where I retired as Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry in 2006. Understanding addiction and its treatment has been a wonderful medium for pursuing my fundamental interest in the psychology of change. It has also been a fertile field for exploring the historic interface between spirituality and psychology.
Primary Research Areas:
My research focuses on four major areas of interest: (a) motivation for change; (b) behavioral treatments for substance use disorders; (c) psychology and spirituality; and (d) psychotherapy processes and outcomes
