Contributions

In press report on a RCT of music therapy in dementia. Submitted SEM paper investigating possible mediation roles for temperance and character in wellness based on a 2001 survey carried out by my mentor Robert Cloninger. I am currently preparing a series of talks on the therapeutic potential for character development, based on the empirical findings and writings of Robert Cloninger. Also beginning to explore data from Cycle 3.1 of the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey, which involved approximately 130,000 respondents.

Testimonial

"The MPE program was a once in a lifetime experience for me. I feel so fortunate for having been able to take 18 months away from my work and be immersed in such a premier scientific environment at Washington University. During my time in the program, it felt like my preconceptions were being challenged daily. However, I am certainly the richer for it. I am hopeful that my discipline of music therapy will be the richer also, as I use my new skills to help expand the evidential support for our discipline."
