Michael Nietzel, PhD Provost 106 Gillis Building University of Kentucky Lexington, KY 40506-0033 Office Phone: 859.257.2911 E-mail: nietzel@email.uky.edu My current research activities are organized under two general categories: (1) Forensic Psychology: Topics of recent interest to me include the assessment and management of dangerous clients, the study of legal procedures, and the application of psychological principles to law enforcement. (2) Evaluation of community-based intervention for the chronically mentally ill. My clinical interests focus on the assessment of individuals with forensic implications (e.g., competence, criminal responsibility, and psychological damages following trauma) and psychotherapy with adults, especially those with anxiety disorders.
