After ten years on the East Coast, where I worked and taught at the Cambridge Hospital/Harvard residency program and Brown University, we were drawn to New Mexico by its beauty and by the clinical and teaching opportunities at UNM. I work with residents and students through the psychiatric education department, and work clinically at the University Psychiatric Service.
My primary professional interest is in medical education at the medical school and residency levels. I am particularly interested in the process of implicit learning, in supervision and in the clinic.
My research interests are at the border between medicine and anthropology. They concern the ethnographic and phenomenological study of healing and healers. Particular interests include the conditions of trust and trustworthiness in healing, hierarchies of resort for treatment among people with mental illness, the uses of persuasion or rhetorical language, the bases of therapeutic effectiveness, and reconciling the practices of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy.
