Biography
I am a professor in the Department of Psychology of the University of the Azores (UAÇ). I teach
classes in Psychology, the area in which I graduated from the University of Lisbon, in 1986.
Early in my academic career, I felt that I would like to study why people exhibit mal-adjustment
or disruptive behavior, and how these situations can be dealt with and/or prevented. This was
the topic of my doctoral degree, completed in 2000 at UAc. Since then my desire is broaden my interests to different risk groups and learn more and about this topic.
