The Psychology Colloquium series presents Dr. Terri Messman-Moore on “Revictimization and Cumulative Trauma Impact: Emotion Dysregulation and Psychopathology among Women with Histories of Child Maltreatment and Intimate Partner Violence” on Friday, March 31, at 11:50 a.m. in Porter 102.
Messman-Moore is currently the O’Toole Family Professor of Psychology and the Director of Clinical Training for the Department of Psychology at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She earned a Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University in 1999.
Messman-Moore’s research program reflects three intersecting areas: interpersonal violence (child and adolescent sexual victimization, child maltreatment, adult revictimization), trauma, and emotion dysregulation. She is interested in how interpersonal violence early in development affects one’s later capacity to self-regulate and cope with stressors, and how maladaptive coping strategies emanating from emotion dysregulation increase vulnerability among survivors. She is particularly interested in how sexual violence and emotion dysregulation intersect and result in trauma such as PTSD, substance use disorders, risky sexual behavior, and complex clinical presentations.
