Present position: Visiting Professor of Psychology, University of Greenwich, London.

I qualified in Psychology in 1965 and later obtained postgraduate degrees in Clinical Psychology and Social Anthropology. My career has combined teaching, research, and clinical practice, mostly in the British National Health Service and at the Universities of London (UCL) and East London. One major interest has been cognitive behaviour therapy, and I have worked with Vic Meyer, Stanley Rachman and Isaac Marks. I was involved for many years in training clinical psychologists, especially in research methods.

I have specialised in anxiety problems, publishing a book on panic and agoraphobia (Academic Press, 1985) and treatment methods (Sage, 1992). Other areas of interest are obsessions, tinnitus, and acquired deafness. I like to engage in cross-disciplinary thinking and have been collaborating with internationally acclaimed performance artist, Bobby Baker, for the past 7 years. I have applied social constructionist theory to anxiety and also to concepts of person and self. This has resulted in a new book: Virtual selves, real persons. Cambridge University Press, 2009.
