Joseph Maffly-Kipp is a student in Clinical Psychology at Texas A&M University. He is currently on his clinical internship at Ohio State University. He grew up in North Carolina and attended Bates College for his undergraduate degree. His research interests lie at the intersection of existential psychology and mental health/illness, particularly surrounding concerns about mortality, meaning, and identity. Specific areas of inquiry have involved the relationship between mood disorders and meaning-making, fluctuations in self-concept/self-definition over time, and the existential function of conspiracies and psychotic delusions.
