My primary focus at present is the nature and functions of self, which I approach from an interdisciplinary perspective, but find the social psychological and behavioral neuroscience literature especially relevant.
As an adolescent with strong philosophical interests but huge doubts about the ability of philosophy to ever answer any questions, I resolved to become a psychologist on the assumption this would constantly bump me up against - and prevent me from ever forgetting the big questions. The child did make the man. My day job is neuropsychologist & clinical psychologist, which has provided decades of experience with stroke, head injury, psychiatry illness, issues of competency and people struggling to find meaning. My perspective is greatly influenced by evolutionary theory - I taught a graduate course in neuropsychology from an evolutionary perspective for nearly 20 years.
