Takakuni Suzuki, Ph.D.

About

Takakuni Suzuki, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of clinical psychology who specializes in transdiagnostic dimensional and multimethod investigation of psychopathology. His approach conceptualizes psychopathology as experiences on a dimension that are “extreme versions” of normative experiences, and that sharing these dimensions explain the high overlapping of traditional diagnoses. Suzuki utilizes several data collection methods (including electroencephalogram and ecological momentary assessment) and analytic techniques (including psychometric analyses and latent variable analyses) to investigate complex human social and emotional processes. Suzuki’s research has focused primarily on personality and psychosis spectrum disorders, but also includes collaborations with researchers from other areas, including developmental clinical psychology and suicidal behaviors. Suzuki received his B.S. in psychology and physiology from Michigan State University, his M.S. in psychology from Villanova University, and his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Purdue University. He completed his clinical internship at University of Mississippi Medical Center and postdoctoral fellowship at University of Michigan, Michigan Medicine, where he was also an assistant professor of psychiatry prior to joining The University of Tulsa.
