Jonathan Wolff is a doctoral candidate at Boston College and is the Clinical Research Coordinator for the Ressler Lab and the Dissociative Disorders and Trauma Research Program. He has conducted research on subtypes of PTSD and dissociative disorders, policies and practices of domestic violence shelters, and sexual trauma experiences among racial-minority men. He has worked in community mental health, psychiatric inpatient, and college counseling settings primarily with individuals that have suffered violence. His research aims to center peoples’ voices and experiences, reduce stigma, and improve care. Prior to his clinical research roles, he worked as a Mental Health Specialist (counselor) on the inpatient Dissociative Disorders and Trauma Unit at McLean Hospital where he maintains a per-diem position. The clinical research studies he works on examine the phenomenology, neurobiology, physiology, and genetics of individuals with histories of trauma. Jonathan received his B.S. in Clinical Psychology from Tufts University.

I had the privilege of having Jonathan as a member of the Institute. One of the most thoughtful, intelligent, sensitive and modest students I have had in decades, he worked with Convisero mentor Justine Hardy in her Healing Kashmir program in Srinagar. He was a Synaptic Scholar in 2014 who presented on “Bits: the Statue of Liberty and the Statue of Responsibility."
