Depression Research Laboratory

The Ohio State University, Department of Psychology

 
   

Welcome!

In this lab, we study the role of cognition in abnormal emotional states. We focus on the role of cognition in the etiology and treatment of depression. One treatment for depression which has been of particular interest is Cognitive Therapy for Depression. 

If you are interested in learning more about treatment options for depression, please go to the Depression Treatment and Research Clinic (DTRC) website.

To learn more about the lab and our work, see the sections below.

If you have additional questions about us and our work, feel free to contact me.


Sincerely,

Daniel R. Strunk, Ph.D.
