My favorite courses are Science & Pseudoscience (undergraduate: Psy 210; graduate: GLS 531), Psychology of Exceptional Children (Psy 322), and History & Systems of Psychology (Psy 405).  Fortunately, these are the only courses that I teach.  They share emphases on the changing nature of scientific knowledge, need to evaluate claims, and extent to which ill-conceived and evaluated treatments have actually hurt rather than helped people.  I use my extensive collections of quack medical and scientific instruments and antique books as classroom illustrations of past treatments and beliefs. 

In terms of scholarly/research interests, I have written several chapters and some 100 encyclopedia and handbook articles on aspects of exceptional children.  I recently published a critical analysis of research on effects of low levels of lead poisoning on children.  Currently, I am writing a chapter on causes of handicapping conditions for a handbook and several articles on aspects of history of psychology.  I also conduct research on 19th-20th century phrenological readings.
