Dr. Heidemarie Blumenthal, Ph.D. Dr. Heidemarie Blumenthal received her degree from the University of Arkansas under the mentorship of Dr. Ellen W. Leen-Feldner (and Dr. William Levine at the undergraduate level). Dr. Blumenthal's research focuses on the etiology of maladaptive stress responding and risk behaviors, with an emphasis on the dynamic interplay of anxiety and substance use. Although her work spans the life course, her primary interest is in risk and selective intervention during adolescence and emerging adulthood, including how anxiety vulnerability may enhance the likelihood of problematic substance use activity as well as how substance use may increase risk for anxiety psychopathology. As a developmental psychopathologist her work reflects an intersection between traditional developmental and clinical domains, and an integrative, interdisciplinary approach is essential to her program of research. Dr. Blumenthal enjoys teaching undergraduate (PSYC 3620) and graduate (PSYC 5010, 6200) developmental psychology courses at UNT, is the proud co-sponsor for UNT Psi Chi, and she welcomes undergraduate, post-bachelors volunteer, and graduate student (Behavioral Science primarily) applications. |
