Research Interests

My main research interest is in history of psychology and psychiatry. My interests in these areas are broad but currently I am concentrating on the history of neuropsychology in Britain and the history of the psychology of memory. Previously I have worked on topics such as the history of addictions and history of physiognomy and I still have interests in these areas.
