Clinical Psych PhD Faculty Who Specialize in Eating Disorders?

[ClinicalPhDApplicant44]

Hi everyone!

I am beginning my research for my applications and could really use some help. I am trying to look up faculty for Clinical Psych PhD programs who specialize in eating disorders. So far I have Linda Craighead, Eunice Chen, and Suzanne Mazzeo but I really could use some more suggestions.

I am geographically flexible but need to be in a fairly big city/metropolitan area for my fiance's job. I prefer the coasts and am from California so extra prefer California but don't mind big cities like Chicago, Atlanta, etc.

Thanks for your help!!

Well, if I were to just go ahead and ignore all your preferences, )) I'd say that there's at least one or two faculty members at UAB who I believe work in that area. Might be a few folks in the Houston area as well (e.g., UH), although of that I'm not sure. Unfortunately, I don't know any names off-hand, but I'd imagine they a quick website search should turn up some info.

No clue if anyone at either program does eating disorder research, but both Emory and Georgia State are in Atlanta and are solid schools in general.

That being said, Birmingham certainly isn't a big city, although there are much less-entertaining places to end up for 4-6 years.

Unfortunately, eating disorders is a pretty niche area so you can't be super picky about geographical location.

Kevin Thompson at Univ. South Florida might be of interest (not sure if he is still taking students as he is nearing retirement).

Kelsie Forbush at University of Kansas's Clinical program. I think I spelled her name right. I don't know much about her work except that I've heard through folks that she works in that area and that she is a new hire this past year, so she should be looking to take folks. Best of luck.
