Environmental Change and Resilience Projects

We have a vibrant, active and diverse research community generating impactful world class research. Our researchers are involved in a number of strategic partnerships and collaborations within the University and beyond; working with funders and partners including research councils, government departments, the EU, Council of Europe and large foundations.

Below are a few examples of our research into the important issues facing society today

Cochrane Fellowship

Psychological therapies for major depressive disorder and prolonged grief in bereaved adults

This Cochrane Fellowship started in November 2018 to complete a systematic review of psychological interventions for depression, prolonged grief disorder and PTSD in bereaved adults. The cause of death has been broadened to any type of death vs life limiting conditions, and is now exploring prolonged grief disorder and PTSD.

Dr Audrey Roulston is leading the team where the final review contains 13 different studies covering a range of psychological therapies, with the main intervention focusing on CBT. The project is due for submission to Cochrane in December 2019, and will inform therapists and service providers about which interventions are most effective with this population, and which RCTs were graded highly in terms of quality.
