Professor Emeritus in Clinical and Health Psychology, University of British Columbia

I am a scientist and practitioner in clinical and health psychology. I have worked for 4 decades on the interface between stress emotion and health. At the current stage of life I am aggregating his research and life experience to support efforts at disease prevention. My core interest is the reduction of childhood adversity (i.e., abuse and neglect) and its nasty sequelae. I have published 6 books in 5 languages and 150 scientific, peer-reviewed articles mostly related to stress and illness. Now I want to share my ideas with a wider, generalist audience because effective, grass-roots prevention has to come from and be politically supported by the broader community.
