Welcome to DBT in 3 Months. My name is Sarah C. Turner, MEd. I started writing this blog when I was in my master's counseling program in January 2013, after learning about a training event with the Treatment Implementation Collaborative in Houston. This has been my way to learn and process the skills and strategies I have learned since then.
Now, I am a doctoral student in the Measurement,
Quantitative Methodology— Learning Sciences program at the University of
Houston in Houston, Texas. I am an
alumna from the University of Houston's Honors College and the College of
Education, receiving my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and my Master of
Education in Counseling.
In
the last five years, I have completed two degrees, successfully defended two
theses, served as a research assistant for qualitative and quantitative
projects with several research groups, presented eight posters and three
lectures, and written many articles for publication. During my internship for my master’s degree
in counseling, I worked with adolescents with autism, attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other neurological differences and studied
self-determination and psychological needs theories and applications.
Studying in diverse learning environments
with many research groups has given me opportunities to practice the
fundamentals of research in psychology and sharpen my communication skills for
different audiences. As an author, I
want to have books with my name on the spines and to craft abstracts and grant
proposals to submit to psychology conferences.
As a teacher, I want to focus on the fundamental aspects of educational
psychology and behavioral sciences in lectures and coursework; integrate
technology in the classroom; and to increase the number of student submissions
for publication though the APS Wikipedia Initiative, Psi Chi, and regional and
national psychology conferences.
My
research interests: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Dialectical
Behavior Therapy, Neurological Differences, Psychological Needs, Self
Determination Theory
