Douglas Ferraro's research has been focused in the areas of
psychopharmacology, forensic psychology, and health psychology. Although he
maintains an active laboratory in psychopharmacology and one in psychology and
the law, his primary current interest is in working with self-directed graduate
students who have research interests related to his. For example, student
Master's and Doctoral degree work completed in the past two years under his
direction has included investigations of: cognitive effects of marihuana and
ecstasy, mood and cognitive effects of pregnancy hormones, immune functioning
in Alzheimer's caretakers, treatment of inmates with dual diagnoses, probation
officers' typifications of probationers, informal educators among neuromuscular
specialists.
Dr. Ferraro received his Ph.D. in 1965 from Columbia University in experimental psychology. He is a licensed psychologist and qualified
expert in forensic psychology. He is a Fellow in three divisions of the
American Psychological Association.
