Allan Clifton
\nAssociate Professor of Psychological Science<\/p>\n

Allan Clifton has been at Vassar since 2006. His interest in psychology was shaped at\u00a0Haverford College<\/a>, with Doug Davis<\/a>\u00a0as his primary research mentor. After graduating from Haverford, he received a 2-year Intramural Research Training Award to work at NIMH <\/a>with\u00a0Anil Malhotra<\/a>\u00a0on a study of the pharmacogenetics of schizophrenia.<\/p>\n

His PhD in clinical psychology is from the University of Virginia<\/a>, where he worked on the\u00a0Peer Nomination Project of Personality<\/a>, run by\u00a0Eric Turkheimer<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Tom Oltmanns<\/a>. That research centered on the differences between self-report and informant-report in the assessment of personality and personality disorders. He wrote his dissertation <\/a>on “Social Network Analysis of Self and Peer Perceptions of Pathological Personality.”<\/p>\n

He completed his clinical internship<\/a> at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic<\/a>. with clinical emphases on personality disorders, and anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders. He also completed a\u00a0two-year research postdoctoral fellowship at WPIC, where he worked with\u00a0Paul Pilkonis<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0developing new models of interpersonal functioning in borderline personality disorder.<\/p>\n

His work at Vassar has focused on using social network analysis to understand differences in personality, pathology, and behavior.<\/p>\n
