Dr. Jeff Ciesla is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology. He earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University at Buffalo: The State University of New York, in 2004. He was an NIMH-funded post-doctoral research fellow from 2004-2007 at Vanderbilt University.
Dr. Ciesla’s work involves the study of risk for unipolar depressive disorder. His work has two major foci: The investigation of depressive rumination, and how it may interact with life stress and negative beliefs; and models of life stress, including the stress sensitization, stress generation, and stress autonomy models. He is also interested in the application of Structural Equation Modeling and Multilevel Modeling in psychopathology research. His work has been published in such outlets as Emotion, Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Psychological Assessment, American Journal of Psychiatry, and Journal of Family Psychology.
He teaches Introduction to Adult Psychopathology and Quantitative Statistical Analysis I at the graduate level, and Quantitative Methods in Psychology II at the undergraduate level. He also provides clinical supervision to students working in Kent’s Psychological Clinic.
When not working, Jeff is most likely practicing Yoga, playing tennis, watching Buffalo Sabres’ hockey, defending his ugly automobile, or setting up the next practical joke.
