Teaching

Being a part of the academic growth and career trajectories of young people is a great privilege. I convene two units - Individual Differences and Assessment (PYB309), and Interventions for Addictive Behaviours (PYB360).  I work with a great group of guest lecturers who bring a wealth of experience across diverse topics.

In Individual Differences and Assessment, we cover these and other topics:

  • Contemporary models of human behaviour
  • Measurement of psychological constructs
  • Applications of theory to contemporary challenges, such as parenting, education, vocational training, and drug use.

In Interventions for Addictive Behaviours, we cover:

  • Key concepts of addiction and drug abuse
  • Assessment tools and techniques
  • Development and maintenance of alcohol and other drug misuse
  • Evidence-based early interventions
  • Community coalition approaches to drug and alcohol prevention
  • Pharmacological treatments for alcohol and drug dependence
