Gareth Furber’s Summary
I completed my clinical psychology PhD in 2006 in the area of psychological recovery following heart attack and as a result have well developed research and evaluation skills. In addition I have clinical training in cognitive-behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and motivational interviewing and an interest in a range of other psychotherapeutic approaches.
I currently split my time between two workplaces. I am the research manager in a small Child and Adolescent Mental Health Research Unit in South Australia. My role involves assisting clinicians and management to develop research programs around key CAMHS clinical and organizational issues. The range of projects is varied, from benchmarking against other CAMHS services in Australia, to helping one of our youth teams expand their use of information communication technology in providing clinical services.
I am also employed half-time at the Health Economics and Policy Group in the University of South Australia, exploring psychotherapeutic interventions in child protection.
Outside of those two roles, I have an ongoing interest in the internet and how it can be used to assist Psychologists in their professional development. I regularly use and promote RSS (Really Simple Syndication) as part of my work. I also run an online community called the Psychology and Health Forum which emphasizes the use of the web as a networking tool for psychologists in my local area. Through my work on the web, I have made some great contacts and currently serve on the International Advisory Board over at CounsellingResource.com and as an Affiliate at MedWorm.com.
