Stanford, Matthew
Resident Scholar Dr. Matthew S. Stanford is professor of psychology, neuroscience, and biomedical studies at Baylor University where he serves as the director of the doctoral program in psychology. He received his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Baylor in 1992. After graduating from Baylor he completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Texas Medical Branch. Prior to coming to Baylor in 2003 he was a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at the University of New Orleans. Dr. Stanford’s research focuses primarily on the biological basis of impulsive and aggressive behavior. In addition, his interests include the interplay between psychology and issues of faith. His book on the topic, Grace for the Afflicted: A Clinical and Biblical Perspective on Mental Illness (Paternoster) was released in September 2008. He has conducted research in a variety of mentally ill and brain-injured populations including those with aggression, schizophrenia, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, stroke, substance dependence and traumatic brain injury. He is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science. A broad set of assessment techniques are used in our research. These include personality, neuropsychological and psychophysiological (e.g., event-related potentials, heart rate) measures. Study participants are recruited and referred from a number of agencies and institutions including domestic violence treatment programs, local mental health clinics, probation/parole and substance abuse treatment programs. The laboratory has a collaborative relationship with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and is presently funded by the Dreyfus Health Foundation.
