Dr Dennis Golm Dipl. Psych., PhD. (Dr. rer. nat.)
Lecturer in Psychology
Dr Dennis Golm is a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Southampton.
My main research interests lie within the field of developmental psychopathology. I am interested in the, predominantly biological, mechanisms through which early risk factors (e.g. childhood maltreatment, institutional deprivation, preterm birth) contribute to the emergence of mental health problems later in life.
I studied Psychology at the University of Göttingen, Germany and completed my PhD. In the Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at the University of Göttingen under the supervision of Professor Birgit Kröner-Herwig. I then joined the English and Romanian Adoptees Study team as a post-doc and worked with Professor Edmund Sonuga-Barke at the University of Southampton and later at King’s College London. I re-joined the University of Southampton as a Lecturer in Psychology in 2018.
I am currently in the process of completing my training in cognitive-behavioural therapy.
