His research interests are in the following areas: the effects of music on people with dementia/narrative analysis; interventions for adults experiencing sexual aggression; and selected areas of psychoanalysis. He would welcome graduate students to do their dementia; understanding the illness narratives of older people experiencing practicuums in Geriatric Psychiatry, particular doctoral students in medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, and students at any level of their music, art, dance, and drama therapy. He is currently
preparing a review of a recent book: LeNavenec, C., & Bridges,
