Dr. Darlene Francis is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Berkeley where she has a joint appointment with the School of Public Health. The lab she directs studies the interplay between the environment and neurobiology. Many of her published papers demonstrate that if you change environment, you change behavior via changes in neurobiology. Conversely changes in neurobiology lead to changes in behavior. Using animal models she can demonstrate that the given early environment of an organism can “program” the brain for later life, and this programming can be transmitted intergenerationally.
Dr Elizabeth Skowron is Associate Professor of Counseling Psychology at Penn State University in Pennsylvania and Lead Investigator of an NIMH-funded study of parenting processes and children’s regulatory and behavioral outcomes in at-risk families. Her current research focuses on investigating characteristics of family systems associated with child resiliency, intergenerational patterns of child maltreatment, and the role of self-differentiation in facilitating positive client outcomes in therapy. She is on the editorial boards of several journals including Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice and Training, and The Counseling Psychologist.
