THE PSYREN THE #1 SOURCE FOR CLINICAL PROGRAM NEWS AT LUC

By Katie DorociakMeet the First Years!The first years are currently involved in a love affair… with one another. The crew is always up to having a good time, whether it is going to the ballet, trying a new restaurant, or enjoying a drink. Meet the marvelous first-years. “Let’s goooo.”

Carolyn Bates is a midwest-loving girl. Originally from Indianapolis, she ventured to Notre Dame for undergrad before coming to Loyola for graduate school. Carolyn joined Amy Bohnert’s Activity Matters Lab and is interested in the psychological health of adolescent girls, particularly in relation to environmental and lifestyle predictors of child obesity. In her free time, Carolyn can be found spiking the volleyball and/or otherwise saving the world. Katie Dorociak, originally from the Sunshine State, is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. After she realized that being a dentist was like pulling teeth, Katie dived into psychology and joined several research labs at the University of Florida. As a member of Pat Rupert’s PIER Lab, Katie is studying burnout, self-care, and well-being among professional psychologists. To keep her own life balanced, she enjoys long walks on the beach and pinterest-ing to her heart and class’s content. Evan Zahniser is the token guy and red-head of the first years. After graduating from Pomona College, the Seattle native decided to move to the tundra and join Colleen Conley’s IMPACT Lab. Evan is interested in studying the experience and process of emotion, particularly topics such as emotion regulation, reappraisal, and emotional adjustment. When not at Loyola, Evan is likely dunking the basketball and searching for more dudes for his boat. Jenna Shapiro ventured from the Big Apple to try Chicago deep dish to join Colleen

Conley’s IMPACT Lab. Jenna graduated from Barnard College and took some time off to study psychotherapy outcome research as a research assistant at Columbia University Medical Center. Jenna is interested in studying risk and protective factors in adolescence and emerging adulthood. Jenna enjoys putting her dance pants on, Pilates, and discovering delicious restaurants around Chicago with her husband Jacob. Suzanna So was born and raised in Chicago, and she is the epitome of Chicago city pride. Suzanna graduated from the University of Chicago and worked at the Center for Community Research at DePaul before joining Noni Gaylord-Harden’s PACCT Lab. Suzanna's research interests involve how community violence and other contextual factors affect the mental health needs of low-income, urban minority youth. When she is not cheering for the Bulls, Suzanna can be found baking up a storm and spending time with her friends and family. Stephanie Torres, a Chicago native, graduated from DePaul University and headed north on the Red Line to Loyola to join Cate Santiago’s CASA lab. Steph is interested in the role that cultural and contextual factors have on the mental health of low-income and ethnic minority youth and families as well as the coping and protective factors among this population. On the weekend, you can find Stephanie playing Mozart’s latest piece on the piano, and whipping up her famous "Dr. Golden Salsa.”

LIFE OUTSIDE OF LOYOLABy Suzanna So

In addition to all the incredible academic and professional achievements from everyone, several of us have had an exciting year outside of Loyola as well.

Fourth year, Nikki Arola, got engaged to her boyfriend, Connor Anderson, in May

2013 and will be getting married in August 2014!

Just prior to starting her graduate studies, first year, Jenna Shapiro, got married to Jacob Shapiro in June 2013 in Chicago.

Lucky for the both of them, she got accepted at Loyola and he got accepted at

Northwestern's business school!

Grace Jhe, a current second year, got married to Ginmann Bai on July 13, 2013 in

Boston. Right before starting the fall semester, she spent her honeymoon in the

beautiful state of Hawaii.

LIFE OUTSIDE OF LOYOLABy Suzanna So

The Fall 2013 Social Committee event was a ton of fun! On December 13, 2013, we held our annual Holiday Party at Cesar’s Killer Margaritas in Lakeview. With gigantic frozen margaritas in hand and ugly sweater swag, we were bound to have a good time. As a welcome break from this never-ending winter, we were warm and toasty with great attendance

from students of all cohorts and our wonderful faculty. Cate even brought her baby (Roma) to meet everyone! Given everyone's busy schedules, this was a great chance for everyone to kick back and relax. We definitely cannot wait until the Spring 2014 social event and hopefully we'll get to enjoy some sun!

Some of the students and faculty sure are an active bunch! Just to name a few, Jackie Lennon completed the Chicago Half Marathon in September with Noni and Grayson. Then, in October, Suzanna, Emma-Lorraine, Cynthia, and Noni completed the Stride Against Violence 5K, while Jackie and Alex Psihogios completed the Chicago Marathon.

Let’s get social!

“Active” Coping.

2ND YEAR UPDATE !

3RD YEAR UPDATE

It's been an exciting year for the second years! We've been keeping busy managing our classes, research, and TA responsibilities as well as our first practicum experience at the Wellness Center. It’s been a rewarding time growing together as therapists and starting to feel like veterans of the program. After applying to assessment practice all over Chicago, we were all relieved to know that we will be in good company with three of us going to the University of Chicago (Lorri, Jackie, and Dakari) and three of us going to the Pediatric Developmental Center (Stephanie, Grace, and Emma-Lorraine). We’ve also been able to keep up with our thesis work and are making progress studying a diverse range of topics including positive peer pressure (Dakari), protective factors in foster care, (Grace), immigrants and refugee youth (Emma-Lorraine), family environment and stress reactivity (Stephanie), psychosocial and family functioning (Jackie), and neural correlates of emotional processing in depression (Lorri). Despite juggling all of our activities, our cohort has had a great second year, and we are eager to see what the upcoming year brings!

STUDENT UPDATES

It has been a fantastic year for the Quacky Quintet of third-years! In addition to working hard at her assessment practicum at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s HALP and Craniofacial Clinic, Kim has been involved in presenting posters, publishing research, traveling, and honing her already impressive dance moves (especially the Macarena). She is getting geared up for next year with the University of Chicago’s Psychotherapy and Pediatric Psychology externship. Anne has also been hard at work at UIC’s HALP/Craniofacial clinic. This year she has published two articles and is looking forward to her next placement at UIC’s Disruptive Behavior Clinic. Kyle absolutely loved his assessment practicum at the University of Chicago Pediatric Neuropsychology program and cannot wait to begin his Pediatric/Rehabilitation externship position with Shriners Hospitals for Children in July. In addition to presenting, publishing, and traveling to Japan over the past year, Kyle has become an uncle to a beautiful niece and nephew! Caitlin is excited to join Kyle at Shriners Hospital this July, enjoyed presenting at several conferences this year, and continues to collect data for her sleep study on adolescents with spina bifida. Alex has been doing good work over at the Pediatric Developmental Center and is looking forward to her next placement at Stroger Cook County Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Not to mention, she got married to her high school sweetheart last summer! Also, we have all successfully defended our master’s theses, blowing our respective committees’ minds! All in all, we would say it has been a pretty good year for us third years. Bring it on, year 4.

4TH YEAR UPDATE

5TH YEAR & BEYOND UPDATE

The fourth years have all learned a lot from their clinical therapy practica at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center (Catherine Lee), Mt. Sinai Hospital (Cynthia Pierre), Shriners Hospitals for Children – Chicago (Tina Holbein), the University of Chicago (Nikki Arola and Alex Psihogios), and the UIC Disruptive Behavior Disorders Clinic (Arie Zakaryan). Many of the fourth years have also enjoyed teaching their first classes. The cohort has been hard at work with their dissertations, with three successful proposals and three others coming soon! Nikki was recently hired to teach next fall at her undergraduate alma mater. She got engaged last May and has been busy planning her wedding. She is excited to move back to the great state of Minnesota in July and tie the knot in August with her fiancé, Connor! Tina recently submitted two manuscripts for publication and has continued her involvement in neuropsychology as a testing technician. She had a blast attending several Ohio State football games this year and has developed a passion for kick-boxing.

Her dissertation work will be funded by an Arthur J. Schmitt Dissertation Fellowship! Cynthia just presented in a symposium on family and coping with second year students Emma-Lorraine and Stephanie at the Society for Research of Adolescents (SRA) conference in Austin, TX. She likes to sneak out for Forever Yogurt, her new obsession! Alex also published her master's thesis and plans to remain at U of C for her fifth year practicum. This year, Alex ran her first marathon, and she is currently planning her October wedding to her fiancé, Pat. Arie has been working on manuscripts, developing dissertation ideas, and represented his lab at conferences in Hawaii and Austin. He still loves Lakeview and cannot wait until Chicago pulls itself out of the polar vortex (or should we say vortices?) to have some warm weather fun!

It’s been yet another busy year for the 5th years! Daniel, Devin, Edna, and Amanda successfully proposed their dissertations! Daniel is finishing up an intensive CBT year at the University of Chicago and matched at the University of Wisconsin for internship. Devin is completing her practicum experience at the UIC Pediatric Mood Disorders Clinic and matched at the University of Louisville for internship.

Colleen Conley’s IMPACT lab has been busy this year! The IMPACT lab is happy to welcome two incoming first-year graduate students, Jenna Shapiro and Evan Zahniser. We continue to run the IMPACT survey that follows student’s adjustment and psychological functioning throughout college. We invited over 6000 students to participate this spring. The lab has been busy writing manuscripts related to college students’ psychological functioning and prevention programs. We have also been conducting three separate meta-analyses on different types of intervention and prevention programs for higher education students. Lab members have been busy defending theses and presenting their research at multiple conferences over the past year.

The Activity Matters Lab has had a productive year! We published several articles and are working hard on several more related to pediatric obesity, health behaviors, time use, organized activities, affluent youth, and youth with high-functioning autism. We had a blast presenting posters at this year’s SRA, where we had the pleasure of watching one of our undergraduate Johnson scholars present her own research. We are delighted to have recently had two more undergraduates win Provost and Johnson scholarships to pursue their own research projects. We are also very proud of Amanda and Lea as they embark on their internships, and of Amy for winning Loyola’s Sujack Award! This May, we will attend the International Society for Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity in San Diego, where we will present about summertime obesity risk and its relation to time use, obesogenic behavior, sleep, and friendship networks. Then our focus will turn to summer, during which we will be collecting data for the Active Summers Matter project from both the Girls in the Game and the Howard Area Community Center summer camps... we are definitely in for an active summer!

The Gaylord-Harden PACCT lab has been hard at work this year! We are gearing up for our third wave of data collection at Urban Prep Academy, a college preparatory high school for urban African American boys. We are currently piloting a new measure of coping with community violence with this sample. We are also in the beginning stages of data analysis of the Chicago Youth Development Study (CYDS), with the help of a grant awarded to Dr. Gaylord-Harden by NICHD! We have had the hard work of our graduate and undergraduate students represented in The Journal of Child and Family Studies and have several other manuscripts under review. Several lab members presented at a symposium on family and coping at the Society for Research on Adolescence’s Biennial Meeting in Austin, and we are actively working with our undergraduate lab members to present at MPA and other Chicago-area research symposia.

LEON LAB

HOLMBECK LAB

The PACE lab is continuing to collaborate with DCFS to evaluate the Recruitment and Kin Connections Project, a program that aims to promote well-being among youth in the child welfare system by increasing family-finding and engagement. We are nearing the final year of this study and are looking forward to continuing to analyze the data we have collected. Thus far, we have presented our findings at several conferences, including ABCT, APS, and MPA. Additionally, we are currently working on manuscripts examining placement decisions and patterns of extended family involvement for child welfare youth. Finally, congratulations to Alison Stoner and Ashley Rolnik, who successfully defended their dissertations!

The Risk & Resilience lab is currently engaged in ongoing collaborations with two Chicago community organizations- CeaseFire and Enlace- in order to develop interventions for urban minority youth. We recently concluded one of our joint interventions, Civic Engagement Curriculum with CeaseFire modifications (CEC-CF), designed to decrease stress and increase coping in urban minority youth located in the high violence and low income Chicago community of Englewood. We are planning on conducting data analyses over the summer to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. We will continue in this community by implementing a cross age peer mentoring program starting this summer. A second project involves a collaboration with Enlace, a community based organization that serves the Mexican-American youth and families in the Little Village neighborhood. With the assistance of Dr. Treering, we have begun to analyze GIS-mapping data we obtained from the youth to better understand the experience of the youth who live there. Additionally, with the assistance of Dr. Santiago, we have transcribed and have begun coding focus group interviews from the Little Village youth. Our goal is to eventually help these youth reduce exposure to, and engagement in, community violence. We have been busy preparing manuscripts, mentoring undergraduate research, and presenting at various conferences including SRA and MPA. We are also bidding adieu to 3 wonderful members of our lab: Israel, Devin, & Edna who will be on internship next year – good luck! We look forward to another productive year!

By Arie Zakaryan

The Holmbeck Lab has had another busy year with multiple research projects studying the psychosocial, family, and neuropsycholgical functioning in youth with spina bifida. We are continuing to collect data for our third and fourth time points for our most recent longitudinal study of 140 families. Also, last fall marked the 20th anniversary of our longitudinal study of youth with spina bifda and a healthy control group, for which we are currently collecting data at time point 8! In addition, every summer we work at Camp Independence, implementing a therapeutic intervention that targets independence and social skills training for children, adolescents, and young adults with spina bifida. In collaboration with the Illinois Spina Bifida Association, this spring we also provided a brief version of this intervention to groups of campers over two weekends. Finally, we are working with Dr. Bowman, pediatric neurosurgeon at Lurie's Children's Hospital, to design a study examining the neuropsychological effects of shunt placement. We really enjoy getting to work on all of these projects, and it is especially rewarding for us to present this research to others! This year lab members worked hard to present multiple poster and paper presentations at several conferences, including APA, MPA, and the Society of Pediatric Psychology Annual Conference.

SILTON LAB

The CAN Lab has been a busy place this year! The lab has commenced its large undertaking, the Cognition Coping and Emotion Study, incorporating both experimental and electroencephalography (EEG) methodologies to evaluate the influence of emotional interference in cognition and coping strategies. Daniel Dickson is set to head off to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Psychiatry for his pre-doctoral internship and successfully defended his dissertation proposal! And - par for the course - Catherine Lee defended her proposal closely after. Catherine was also the recipient of an Arthur J. Schmitt Dissertation Fellowship and the Research Mentoring Program (RMP). Congrats to Catherine! Lorri plans to defend her thesis in the summer of 2014. All in all, we have been a busy group, collaborating with Laura Stockdale and Valerie Flores of the Development Psychology Program, and Arie Zakaryan from the Risk and Resilience Lab. We will present our research at the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, Society for Research in Psychopathology, and Society for Psychophysiology Research in the coming months and we're looking forward to another productive year!

The PIER (Professional Issues in Ethics and Research) Lab is headed by Dr. Rupert and has continued its work investigating professional burnout, work-family balance, and well functioning among professional psychologists. The lab has also expanded its focus to look at work-family and self-care issues among college students. We are completing a manuscript examining factors influencing work and family aspirations and anticipated work-family conflict among college students. In addition, we have recently completed data collection for a survey exploring college students’ weekend and weekday self-care activities and possible antecedents and consequences of college student self-care practices. The lab also plans on submitting a manuscript to Professional Psychology: Research and Practice that reviews the research on burnout to offer some practical and empirically-based suggestions for professional psychologists. During 2013, Alisha O. Miller returned to the lab after having her baby boy, Jonah, and began work on her dissertation examining antecedents and consequences of burnout based on a Job Demands Resources conceptual framework. The lab also welcomed a new student, Katie Dorociak, who is planning to begin her master’s thesis on creating and validating a professional self-care scale for

RUPERT LAB

SANTIAGO LAB

The CASA Lab has been busy this year! Stephanie Torres joined the team this fall and jumped right into helping recruit families for our ongoing longitudinal study funded by the Foundation for Child Development. In this study, we're conducting home visits and examining the role of family coping in protecting children against stressors associated with immigration among low-income Mexican-origin families. We've also started a new study in Cicero area elementary schools! In this study, we're evaluating the Bounce Back intervention, a developmentally modified version of the Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS). We're also continuing to analyze data from our daily diary study examining stress and coping among low-income Latino middle school students. Stephanie Brewer successfully proposed her master's thesis and will explore these data more fully. Jackie Lennon attended ABCT and presented some of our data from our previous study examining a family component for CBITS. Finally, several of our graduate and undergraduate lab members are presenting talks and posters at the upcoming SRA and MPA conferences, including talks by both Stephanie Brewer and Stephanie Torres.

ALUMNI NEWSArielle Albert: Class of 2003 !My family recently moved from West Hartford, Connecticut, back to Chicago this past fall after my husband took a position at the University of Chicago. I am currently working in private practice as a pediatric neuropsychologist. Our two boys, ages 8 and 10, are adjusting well to their new surroundings. Next month we will move from Hyde Park to Lincoln Park, which is really exciting for us because that is where we lived during graduate school (before kids). Our Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, Trooper, seems to like the Midwest as well. It has been wonderful re-connecting with my graduate school classmates and friends! !Emily Preheim Dupre: Class of 2008 My family (husband Tony from New Zealand, 3 year old daughter Zoe, and 6 month old daughter Tabitha) and I have just moved back to London from Hong Kong, where we lived for 2 years. While in Hong Kong, I worked part time at a private multidisciplinary medical clinic providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. Now that we are back in London, I plan to continue doing clinical work either in the private sector or with the National Health Service. !Jill Zukerman: Class of 2008 !Jill Zukerman and her husband Colin welcomed their first son on Halloween!

!Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg: Class of 2008 !After studying positive youth development with Joe Durlak, I moved to Massachusetts at the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University and have stayed there ever since. Our center focuses on understanding and promoting civic engagement among young people, bridging across disciplines and practices. I serve as the Deputy Director there. I took an atypical career path after graduation, and I do miss clinical work once in a while. But I love what I get to do everyday, and full-time research looks to be what I'll be doing at least for a while. On a personal end, I've been lucky enough to have two kids, aged 5 and 3, and we have another one baking in the oven. S/he should be ready to make an appearance in late July this year. !Edin Randall: Class of 2012!I moved to Boston last year to complete a postdoc in the Psychiatry Consultation Service at Boston Children's and was lucky enough to land a full-time position at Children's. I'm currently an attending psychologist at the Boston Children's Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Center and it's a great fit. It's an 80% clinical and 20% research position, which is a perfect blend! My hours are great too (8-4), which allows me to keep up with my hobbies (i.e., triathlons, volleyball) and friends. Overall, things are great here! !!

ALUMNI NEWS (continued)

Rebecca (Wasserman) Lieb: Class of 2011 I am currently working as a clinical psychologist at Akron Children's Hospital. I run an early childhood assessment clinic doing testing for kids under 6 with developmental delays and questions of autism spectrum disorder. I also just started a school success clinic, which is a multidisciplinary assessment clinic for school-age children who are struggling in school. !Erika Kalkut: Class of 2010 !Erica is continuing to work as a pediatric neuropsychologist at a busy private practice outside of Boston and has recently developed a preschool and infant neuropsychological testing (PINT) clinic within the practice. She and her husband are excited to be celebrating their son, Colin's, 2nd birthday in March!

Emily Edlynn & Philip O’Donnell: Class of 2007 !We moved to Denver at the end of 2012 with our two daughters (ages 2 and 4) and we are both assistant professors at University of Colorado-Denver. I am the director of the Medical Day Treatment program and Phil works for the Neuropsychiatric Special Care Unit, both part of the Department of Psychiatry. We love life in mountain country and plan to be here for a long time!
