Trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief
Dr. Robinaugh’s work is focused on investigating the complex systems that give rise to anxiety and traumatic-stress disorders, especially prolonged grief. The premise of his work is that mental disorders are massively complex phenomena that arise from a host of interacting biological, psychological, social, cultural, and environmental factors. To understand these complex systems, Dr. Robinaugh utilizes a broad set of tools from psychology, systems science, and art + design, including dynamical systems modeling, network psychometric modeling, and computational phenotyping, with particular focus on applying these tools with time series data collected in the laboratory, in extended reality, and in ecological momentary assessments.
