The Psychology Colloquium series presents Dr. Joseph Cohen on “No Longer Lost in Translation: An Applied Developmental Psychopathology Approach” on Friday, September 22, at 11:50 a.m. in Porter 102.
Dr. Joseph Cohen
Cohen is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Illinois and earned a Ph.D. in 2014 from Rutgers University.
His research focuses on how and why certain children and adolescents go on to develop internalizing symptoms. Specifically, he examines the prospective interplay between cognitive, interpersonal, and physiological vulnerability factors and the onset and maintenance of depression in both domestic and international youth samples. In recent years, he has become increasingly interested in translating these basic developmental psychopathology findings into screening procedures that can better identify youth living in adverse family contexts, and thus, at elevated risk for psychological distress. Over the next several years, Cohen looks forward to taking an applied developmental psychopathology approach to research in which more objective psycho-social screening procedures are developed on the bases of novel, longitudinal, laboratory studies with at-risk youth.
