Simpson, Jane

Jane Simpson is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lancaster, UK, with an interest in the relationship between cognition and emotion. Her interest in self-disgust arose from the clinical observation that addressing emotional issues in therapy was as important as trying to change cognitions. She also felt that some clients expressed such a visceral dislike of the self that it seemed different from shame, self-loathing, and other related constructs. She is currently Research Director on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Lancaster University.
