CPS Professor Presents Keynote Address in Spain

Lenore Walker, Ph.D., professor at the Center for Psychological Studies, was the invited keynote speaker at the University of Barcelona and the Autonomous University of Barcelona's conference on Gender Violence Against Women last May.

Walker presented on her research and clinical treatment methods with battered women to approximately 300 mental health professionals and to professors, graduate students, psychologists, and lawyers who attended the conference. These collaborations are helping to expand research on the Battered Woman Syndrome Questionnaire. While there, she met with psychologists and social workers at departments of justice who perform psychological evaluations for the courts and students from other universities. Walker also presented trauma treatment methodology to doctors, psychologists, and mental health professionals at the Institute of Public Health in Madrid.
