Research Summary

The motivating force behind my research is centered around the critical project of understanding and promoting mental well-being. The questions I seek to answer are How do human minds work? What does it mean for our minds to work well, or badly? And, what is the nature of the discipline of ‘psychiatry’—as both science and evaluative system—that seeks to undertake this project?
