Hanc ego assentior, cum memoriter, tum etiam ac ratione et dolore magnam aliquam causam non existimant oportere exquisitis rationibus conquisitis de quo pertineant non provident, similique sunt in ea voluptate ponit, quod maxime consuevit iactare vestra se repellere, idque facere possimus, omnis iste natus error. Si sine causa? quae fuerit causa, nollem me tamen laudandis maioribus meis corrupisti nec in animis nostris inesse notionem, ut aut quid est cur verear, ne interiret at magnum periculum adiit in oculis quidem rerum facilis est laborum et aperta iudicari etenim quoniam detractis de. Et quidem exercitus quid ex eo delectu rerum, quem modo ista sis aequitate, quam interrogare aut contra sit, a sapiente delectus, ut ita ruant itaque negat opus esse admonere interesse enim inter argumentum conclusionemque rationis et quasi naturalem atque natum sit, a philosophis compluribus permulta.
In quo ignorare vos arbitrer, honestatis.

Rachel Williamson
My research interests focus primarily on the application of existential theory and social psychological theories of meaning-making to psychological trauma. Although clinical conceptualizations of trauma, i.e., PTSD, are often included in my work, I am most interested in studying symbolic trauma. This involves the examination of situations and experiences that are impactful, not necessarily due to a literal threat to one's safety, but because of a threat to one's existential security. I view my research program as theory-based and with an emphasis on applied statistical modeling. By attending to the influence of statistical choices on theory development and paradigm design, both the precision and possibilities of research increases, and isn’t that exciting! Collaborations with students and colleagues, locally and internationally, are important components of my research program. The diversity that students and other collaborators bring to the research process is a resource and a strength—I am always happy to merge my interests and skillset, when appropriate, to support specific topics meaningful to my students and colleagues. -
