Shannon M. Couture, Ph.D.
Background Information:Dr. Shannon Couture received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2007. She completed an APA-accredited internship at the University of California at San Diego/San Diego VA Hospital before joining the faculty at the University of Manchester in England. Dr. Couture joined the Clinical Psychology Program at the University of Maryland in 2008.Research Interests:Dr. Couture’s research interests focus on understanding psychological factors which may contribute to the development and maintenance of symptoms, and to poor functioning in individuals with psychosis. She has studied how important constructs such as social cognition, personality characteristics, and a jumping to conclusions response tendency impact symptoms and functioning. Current research involves exploration of how self and world beliefs may impact negative symptoms, whether jumping to conclusions is related to neurocognitive and functioning skills, and the use of new measures to further investigate social cognitive skills in schizophrenia.Courses Taught:
