One might find the research pages on a psychotherapy website to be a little dry, but I have put them here for good reason: there are readers who like to know the provenance of an idea. My own published work has tended to focus on such matters as communication and meaning, anxiety, depression, ADHD, psychosis, questions over medication and how psychotherapy can help a person put words to their experience.
This hub is your entry point to that kind of material so you do not have to start with a PDF or trawl through a database. The links below will take you to particular papers or to public profiles on Google Scholar, PubMed/NCBI, OpenAlex and Academia.edu, and from an academic citation to a summary in plain English. Do read these for background, however, not as a guide to what you should be doing. This is not personal medical advice, nor a diagnosis or instructions for crisis care.
Where to find the research profiles
I consider the profile links below to be useful references. You will find Google Scholar is usually the fastest way to view citations, while PubMed/NCBI and OpenAlex are good for public bibliographic records; Academia.edu has some paper routes and profile information of its own. For most people though, starting here is better since it ties those external profiles to the summaries we have on site.

Selected paper summaries
Original papers can be hard to get through on a small screen even if they are easy to cite, so I have provided HTML versions of some. They set out the context and the topic and show you where the source material can be found, without making claims about treatment from a list of citations. And when a paper deals with risk, diagnosis or medication, you still need to rely on your own professional judgement and independent clinical guidance.

How to use these pages
Make use of the summaries.
Research pages can look rather dry on a psychotherapy website, but I include them here for a simple reason: some readers want to know where the ideas come from. My published work has often circled around communication, meaning, anxiety, depression, ADHD, psychosis, medication questions, and how psychotherapy helps people find words for experience. This hub gives you a way into that material without needing to begin with a database search or a PDF.
You can use the links below to find specific papers, check public profiles such as Google Scholar, PubMed/NCBI, OpenAlex, and Academia.edu, or move from an academic citation to a plain-language summary. Please read these pages as background, not as advice about what you personally should do. They are not a diagnosis, crisis care, medication instructions, or personal medical advice.
Where to find the research profiles
The profile links below are practical reference routes. Google Scholar is often the quickest way to see citation records; PubMed/NCBI and OpenAlex help with public bibliographic records; Academia.edu hosts some paper routes and profile material. For most readers, this hub is the best place to start because it keeps those external profiles connected with the accessible summaries on this site.
Selected paper summaries
I have added HTML summaries for selected papers because many original papers are easier to cite than to read on a small screen. These pages give readers the topic, the publication context, and the route to the source without turning citation lists into claims about treatment effectiveness. Where a paper touches medication, diagnosis, or risk, independent clinical guidance and individual professional judgement still matter.

How to use these pages
Use the summaries as a bridge between academic writing and accessible explanations. A paper summary can help with orientation, but it should not carry more weight than it can bear. Where a page touches on medication, diagnosis, psychosis, severe anxiety, or crisis risk, personal decisions should be discussed with a qualified professional who can consider the full clinical context.
Sources and profile links, including PubMed/NCBI and OpenAlex, were checked on 10 May 2026. Profile links from Scholar, OpenAlex, or Academia.edu may use nofollow-style attributes; they are still useful for referral traffic, public identity, and trust, but should not be treated as a backlink scheme.
