Dr. Paul M. Camic is Clinical Research Director in the Clinical Psychology
Programme and Consultant Clinical Psychologist (health
psychology specialty) in the East Sussex County NHS Trust. He
was formally on the faculty at the Chicago School of Professional
Psychology, where he directed the health psychology programme,
and at Northwestern University Medical School (Chicago)
in the clinical psychology program. He took his B.A. (honours)
in social geography at Clark University, a masters degree
in psychology at Tufts University, and his Ph.D. in psychology
at Loyola University in Chicago. He completed his internship
and post-doctoral fellowship in clinical psychology at
the University of Chicago Hospitals.
His clinical
interests include short term and longer-term psychodynamic
therapy, and CBT. In community psychology his research
has examined the social and emotional climate of state
supported schools and the development of partnerships
between universities and local schools. In clinical health
psychology his interests include gastroenterology, cardiology,
oncology, and chronic pain.
In addition
to these more traditional areas in psychology he also
has longstanding interests in how psychology and the arts
might intersect with health care to form new intervention
and research possibilities. He has presented several papers
and conducted workshops on the biological origins of the
arts, incorporating the arts into the curriculum of undergraduate
and postgraduate students in clinical psychology, and
the use of the arts in cultural reuse and community development.
In June 2006 he successfully applied to become a Reader in Clinical
and Health Psychology.
