Author Information

Born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Paula C. Miceli is completing her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at York University. She began her career as a biological scientist, and conducted physiological studies of inflammation-induced neural changes in the gastrointestinal tract. Her interests in clinical research led to a position with a pharmaceutical company, where she led industry-sponsored drug efficacy studies in post-surgical pain and urgency incontinence in Canada. While conducting her doctoral studies, Ms. Miceli has supervised undergraduate student health psychology research projects, and instructed health psychology courses. Given the continued integration of psychology in medical settings, one of her goals is to enhance the translation of health-related knowledge for psychologists and mental health clinicians working with medical patients. Her work has been published in journals including Pain Research and Management, British Journal of Urology International, Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, American Journal of Physiology, Clinical Therapeutics, and Autonomic Neuroscience.
