Personal profile
Research Interests
The body of work presents a unified focus on psychology, mental health, social well-being, and violence prevention, integrating clinical practice with methodological rigor. Across diverse studies, the author emphasizes the preparation and interpretation of clinical reports, the validation of measurement tools for family functioning and suicide risk, and the broader landscape of psychology research. Several pieces highlight the practical applications of psychometric validation (e.g., APGAR in Ecuadorian older adults) and the importance of culturally relevant instruments for adolescent suicide risk assessment. The research also engages with clinical diagnosis as a human-centered process, guiding therapeutic intervention from first contact to documentation. Additionally, there is attention to caregiving in Alzheimer’s contexts and to the ethics and quality of research practice, including journal metrics and editorial visibility in psychology. Overall, the work advances evidence-based clinical assessment, supports targeted interventions for vulnerable populations, and informs the professional practice and development of psychology as a field.
