Angela Cain, M.A.
Angela Cain is earning her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Missouri (MU) in Columbia, Missouri. Before beginning her graduate work at MU she earned her B.A. in psychology, with a minor in Women’s Studies, from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. Over the past five years, at MU’s Psychological Services Clinic (PSC), she worked with clients from the campus and community on a wide range of concerns, including eating disorders, borderline personality disorder (BPD), mood disorders, anxiety disorders, alcohol and substance disorders, and psychotic disorders. Angela’s training at the PSC focused on dialectical behavior therapy for BPD, BPD features, and eating disorders. During this time she also served on MU’s Motivational Interviewing Team, Eating Disorder Treatment Team, and Eating Disorders Task Force, a coalition to prevent eating disorders and promote healthy body image on campus; she spent the past three years conducting telephone counseling with pregnant couples to facilitate smoking cessation; and she conducted assessments with outpatients and inpatients with the primary diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia at Fulton State Hospital, a forensic facility. As a clinician and a researcher, Angela specializes in disordered eating and eating disorders. Her research investigates eating pathology development and course between symptoms and disorders (e.g., from restriction to binge eating), diagnosis (including the delineation of empirically derived classifications), and treatment for sub-threshold disordered eating as well as diagnosable eating disorders. She has had her work accepted for publication by the International Journal of Eating Disorders and has presented her work at the International Conference on Eating Disorders in the U.S., Canada, and Barcelona, Spain and the London International Eating Disorders Conference. |
