Biography
Weblink to home page: http://www.psych.unimelb.edu.au/people/staff/JacksonH.html Professor Henry Jackson is a clinical psychologist who worked as a fulltime public practice clinician for 13 years before entering academia in 1991. Henry and Professor Patrick McGorry from ORYGEN Research Centre developed the early intervention research paradigm which has led to a world-wide change in the way we think about intervening in young people with psychotic disorders and in youth mental health service delivery systems. He studies the psychopathology of psychosis, mechanisms underlying positive psychotic symptoms, the development and the assessment of new psychological treatments for psychotic disorders, and factors affecting functional recovery and quality of life in psychotic patients. His second major research interest includes the structure of personality disorders, their relationship to social cognition, treatments for personality disorders - especially borderline personality disorder, and the influence of personality factors in physical health outcomes and quality of life. He collaborates with a number of colleagues within this School, with OYRGEN Research Centre, the Royal Women's Hospital and the University of Padua. He has authored or co-authored over 155 papers in refereed journals, 17 book chapters and co-edited three books. He has been a Chief Investigator on many grants including the large NH&MRC Program and Clinical Centre of Excellence Grants on early psychosis both of which were awarded to ORYGEN in 2004. He has supervised to completion 16 PhDs, 25 other higher degrees, and 30 Honours students. He serves on the boards of a number of journals. Henry was made a Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) in 1995, is the 2004 winner of the Distinguished Career Award presented by the Australian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy and is the 2005 winner of the APS Ian Matthew Campbell Prize in clinical psychology. He was Chair of the NH&MRC Project Grants Committee for Psychology and Psychiatry in 2003 and 2004 and previously served as a member of that panel in 2001 and 2002. He is an ex-National President of the Board (now College) of Clinical Psychologists of the APS. He is past-Chair of the Heads of Departments and Schools of Psychology (HODSPA) (2006-7). In December 2006, he was elected President of the Australasian Society for Psychiatric Research for a period of 3 years. In September 2007 he took up a position on the Research Committee of the Mental Health Council of Australia. In January 2007, the APS appointed Henry a member of their Science, Academia and Research Advisory Group (SARAG). Since 2008 he has served on the Australian Rotary Health Research Committee.
