Assistant Professor, Psychology
Professor Shumaker’s research interests recently have focused on existential anxiety in adolescence and how existential-integrative therapy can be effectively incorporated into empirically validated treatment approaches with this population. Specifically, he is interested in the adolescent and young adult experience of existential anxiety and which personality configurations from a Five Factor Model perspective correlate with existential anxiety. In addition, having previously worked as a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) in Massachusetts conducting custody evaluations, he has a strong research interest in both forensic assessment methodology and treatment considerations for working with children and adolescents whose parents are divorced or separated.
