Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

Positive Affect & Health

Positive affective styles have been relatively ignored in the health literature. Today there is interest in positive affect and health. An article by that title appeared in Current Directions in Psychological Science in 2006 (Vol. 15, pages 122-125).

I am not aware of RT faculty writing and researching in the area of positive affect and health -- but the topic would seem to be a logical one for RT scholars.
