Bio: David is currently in his fifth year of graduate studies. He received his Honors B.Sc. in Psychology from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and his M.A. from Temple University. David's research interests include vulnerability-stress models of unipolar depression, with particular emphasis on how the interplay between cognitive vulnerability and life events affects depressive relapse and recurrence, and how this relationship pertains to prediction of remission and recovery from depression. David works with Dr. Lauren Alloy.
