Much of my research concerns the assessment and analysis of neuropsychological and neuropsychiatry disorders. Current areas of research interest include cognitive neuropsychological approaches to delusions, psychiatric nosology, hypnotic analogues of neurological and psychiatric conditions, phantom limbs, hysterical paralysis, malingering, physiotherapy treatments for MS, neuro-psychological outcome of coronary artery bypass surgery, formation and the psychosocial factors that determine illness behaviour, chronicity and their potential treatment.
