Presenter:  J. Gayle Beck, Ph.D. is the Lillian and Morrie Moss Chair of Excellence in Psychology at the University of Memphis. She earned her A.B. at Brown University and her Ph.D. at the State University of New York at Albany. Professor Beck has published widely on the topics of sexual dysfunction, panic, generalized anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, co-morbidity among mental disorders, and the role of cognitive and emotional processes in psychological distress. Dr. Beck’s current research focuses on mental health issues following trauma exposure, with particular emphasis on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Much of her funded work (since arriving at the University of Memphis) has focused on refining treatments for chronic PTSD and disseminating training materials to underfunded agencies that serve trauma survivors. She heads up the Athena Project at the University of Memphis, a research clinic that provides free assessment and treatment services to women who have experienced intimate partner violence and abuse. Additionally, Dr. Beck is active locally and nationally with her field.

Her career has been guided by the belief that empirically-grounded understanding of maintaining factors for emotional disorders can inform and improve treatments.
