Matthew K. Nock, PhD

Dr. Nock is a professor of Psychology and director of the Laboratory for Clinical and Developmental Research in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University. Dr. Nockโ€™s research is aimed at advancing the understanding of why people behave in ways that are harmful to themselves, with an emphasis on suicide and other forms of self-harm. His research is multi-disciplinary in nature and uses a range of methodological approaches (e.g., epidemiologic surveys, laboratory-based experiments, and clinic-based studies) to better understand how these behaviors develop, how to predict them, and how to prevent their occurrence.
