Dr. Harden plans to accept a graduate student to her laboratory in the Fall of 2010.
Paige Harden received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Virginia. She completed her clinical internship in the Department of Psychiatry at McLean Hospital / Harvard Medical School, in Belmont, MA. Dr. Harden’s research is broadly concerned with adolescent developmental psychopathology. She is particularly interested in how family and social environments combine with genetic factors to shape atypical adolescent development. Dr. Harden uses a broad variety of behavioral genetic designs to investigate three specific areas of substantive interest: (1) sexual activity and childbearing; (2) antisocial behavior; and (3) alcohol and substance use.
