Rate My Professor Paul Rhodes

Rhodes' research encompasses clinical psychology, with a focus on eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, including randomized controlled trials of inpatient treatment for medically unstable adolescents (2015), processes of recovery from chronic anorexia nervosa (2014), components of manualized family-based treatment (2012), and labeling severe and enduring anorexia nervosa (2017). Other key publications address psychological interventions for cancer patient distress (2016), recovery in voice-hearing individuals (2016), fear of cancer recurrence (2014), and parent efficacy in family-based treatment (2005), amassing over 4,000 citations. His current work explores eco-psychology, climate distress among young people, liberation psychology, decolonization of the field, refugee trauma experiences, and innovations in qualitative methods like narrative inquiry and grounded theory. Rhodes received the Sydney Environment Institute's 2022 Collaborative Project Fellowship for research on emotions, young people, and climate distress. He has delivered psychology colloquia and keynotes on eco-anxiety and psycho-terratic paradigms, contributing to transdisciplinary initiatives in the Faculty of Science.
