Jared Ruchensky

I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology within the Clinical Psychology PhD program at Loyola University Chicago. I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology at Texas A&M University and my predoctoral internship at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital.

My research focuses on the assessment of personality pathology and other psychological constructs, especially those relevant to forensic settings. Topics I emphasize in my work include psychopathic personality disorder (psychopathy) and the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders. I use advanced statistical techniques to understand measurement issues in instruments designed to assess these constructs. My current projects focus on using broadband instruments (particularly the PAI) to measure dimensional personality models, forensic applications of these personality models, and clarifying links between personality pathology and experiences of discrimination and prejudice.
