PhD Adventure

[Chris] I was recently accepted into the PhD program in the department of family social science at the UofM. I will be specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy, which is what I have studied for my MA. I am particularly interested in trauma and, specifically, systemic interventions for mass trauma and general models for understanding traumatic responses. I spent about a year preparing my application, volunteering, getting a book review published, and meeting faculty. The program will take at least 4 years and will most likely kick my butt, but I'm really excited!

As a side note, my brother was accepted into med school at the UofM and we will both be starting September, 2011. My running joke is that our wives can support each other during the years we have given our lives to school, it's probably not funny.
