My Ph.D. training was at Stanford University. Upon completing a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in behavioral medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine, I stayed on as a research scientist in the medical school for an additional two years prior to joining the faculty at the University of Texas. My program of research mainly focuses on the nature and treatment of anxiety-related disorders. Within this broad area, I continue to make use of multiple research tactics including: (a) clinical trials; (b) experimental studies using biological challenge agents such as caffeine and CO2; (c) longitudinal risk and prevention studies; and (d) descriptive studies. I am committed to training graduate students to become competent clinical researchers. Over the past 12 years, 14 students have received their Ph.D.s under my supervision, and over half of these have gone on to accept faculty/research positions at major universities. I am also committed to the clinical training of graduate students in empirically-supported treatments. I have considerable expertise and experience in both behavior therapy and cognitive therapy. I offer advanced clinical supervision for doctoral students in their third year and beyond. I teach the required course in Empirically-Supported Clinical Interventions that our students take during the fall semester of their second year. I also co-teach with Dr. Eric Stice the required graduate course in Clinical Research Methods that is taken during the first year in the program. My outside interests include athletics (tennis, weight lifting, golf, and cycling), music, and traveling. Selected Publications:Telch, M. J., Schmidt, N. B., T.
