Research and Original Creative Work

My scholarly activities encompass the areas of psychosocial aspects of disability and counselor training.

My primary research focus is psychosocial aspects of disability, which can be conceptualized into three

interrelated themes: (I) humor and disability; (II) substance abuse and quality of life; and (III) adaptation to

disability group interventions. Across these themes the variables of interest are attitudes toward disability,

coping, and adaptation to disability.
