Graduate Student
Erin Lewis is a fourth year graduate student at the University of Delaware. She is interested in the effects of early caregiving experiences on children's development of self-regulatory capacities, at both behavioral and physiological levels. She is also interested in associations between early risk variables, caregivers' attachment state of mind and children's development of joint attention and theory of mind abilities, which are important components of social development. Erin is also interested in the effects of early adversity on children's regulation of the stress horomone cortisol; particularly how early caregiving experiences affect cortisol regulation over time and in relation to children's behavioral difficulties.
Erin has acquired clinical experience through training at A.I. duPont Hospital for Children, Delaware Guidance Services and High Road School in Wilmington, as well as the Psychological Services Training Center on the University of Delaware campus. Through these experiences, she has been trained in therapy with children, adolescents and adults, as well as in psychological assessment with children ages 2 to 15.
