Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Professor Will Spaulding received his Ph.D. from the University of Arizona in 1976 and completed a postdoctoral Fellowship in Mental Health Research and Teaching at the University of Rochester, 1976-1979. He joined the UN-L faculty in 1979.
Dr. Spaulding's research interests address various aspects of schizophrenia and other severe disorders, including clinical and experimental psychopathology, the effectiveness of treatment and rehabilitation, and service systems and social policy. Recent projects in his research group have included neuropsychological impairment in schizophrenia, the nature of schizotypy, cognitive and neuropsychological predictors of success in treatment and rehabilitation, neuroendocrine aspects of schizophrenia, assessment of stress and coping in rehabilitation, social cognition in psychosis, the effectiveness of cognitive treatment, mental health system reform, and the impact of the US Supreme Court’s Olmstead ruling.
His graduate students include individuals in the regular clinical Ph.D. track and clinical students in the UNL Law-Psychology program. His law-psychology students are generally interested in law and social policy related to severe mental illness, and therapeutic jurisprudence (using the law for therapeutic purposes). Prof. Spaulding also has general interests in psychopharmacology and the integration of psychopharmacological and psychological treatment. He teaches graduate courses on psychopathology, treatment, professional ethics, and the history and philosophy of psychology, and supervises clinical practicum training.
His recent book, The Schizophrenia Spectrum (Hogrefe, 2017), with co-authors Steven Silverstein and Anthony Menditto, is a comprehensive integration of theory, research and practice principles. Prof. Spaulding is an editor of the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, the journal of the Global Alliance for Behavioral Health and Social Justice.
