Bowie Duncan
Graduate Research Assistant
My main research interests lay heavily within the fields of clinical psychology and psychopathology. I am primarily interested in the interaction of substance use and mental disorders (depressive disorders, anxiety-related disorders, and personality disorders (mainly Borderline Personality Disorder)) along with transdiagnostic vulnerability factors. I plan to pursue my PhD in clinical psychology after completion of the MAPR program at Texas State University. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, attempting to grow spicy peppers, recreating awful versions of Food Network dishes, playing paintball, and traveling to beautiful countries.
