I am a Professor of Psychology and have taught at Truman since 1975. I earned a BA in Psychology and Political Science with a minor in Philosophy/Religion from Claremont Men’s College (1971). I completed a MS in Clinical Psychology (1973) and a PhD in Social-Personality Psychology from Oklahoma State University (1975).
In 2008, I received the Walker and Doris Allen Fellowship for Faculty Excellence at Truman State University along with two other colleagues.
See my interview with Aaron “Bama” Truitt in the Spring Psychology newsletter.
My interest area is biofeedback, which is displaying your psychophysiological performance back to you. A mirror and bathroom scale are biofeedback devices,
as are electroencephalographs and heart rate watches.
I trained Hong Kong psychologists to use the clinical procedure of biofeedback in 2006 and 2008 along with Erik Peper, PhD, the President of the Biofeedback Foundation of Europe.
I serve as Chair of the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA), as an adjunct faculty member of Saybrook University, associate editor for the journal Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, and board member of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) Foundation, which awards financial support to student researchers.
Fall 2011, Don Moss, PhD, and I launched Seminars Without Borders ™ to provide didactic training based on BCIA’s Biofeedback Blueprint for professionals throughout the world.
