Dr Catherine Hamilton-Giachritsis
Applications accepted all year round
Self-Funded PhD Students Only
About the Project
Relatively recently, research has begun to focus on children and adults who have negative experiences in childhood, such as child maltreatment, but who show good long-term outcomes (i.e., resilience). Child abuse and neglect has been traditionally been viewed as one of the key causes of mental health difficulties, anti-social behaviour and as a risk factor for poor parenting. Prior work has considered outcomes for community and clinical samples of adults who experienced physical abuse as a child as well as children who have experienced maltreatment and/or witnessed intimate partner violence. This PhD should move these ideas forward, including the definition of resilience and what factors promote it.
Funding Notes
This is not a funded PhD. All of the School of Psychology scholarships have been allocated for this year so students would need to be self-funded or look for an alternative funding body.
