Research Focus
Dr. Norah C. Feeny's lab focuses on understanding and improving psychological treatments for conditions like PTSD and depression, particularly in how individuals process stressful life events. The lab aims to develop innovative therapies that not only address negative emotional responses but also promote resilience and positive coping strategies. This research is vital because many existing treatments have high dropout rates and may not fully meet the needs of individuals suffering from these disorders.
