Autobiography – David Vollick

I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. Initially, I worked at a psychiatric hospital and held a part time teaching position at the University of Western Ontario. Both positions were in London, Ontario. I subsequently obtained a full time faculty position at a University located in British Columbia, from which I retired as chair of the department in 2003.

I have co-authored both a number of articles that have been published in peer-reviewed journals and chapters in several books. Additionally I have presented my research at conventions such as those hosted by the Canadian Psychological Association.

My main research interest has involved the disorder of schizophrenia, regarding both its treatment and the mathematical modeling of schizophrenic information processes,

Currently, I teach at the University of Western Ontario and conduct psychological assessments, both on a part time basis. My present research interests involve personality disorders and their maladaptive behavioral and emotional sequelae.
