Jodi B. Aronoff McKibben, Ph.D.

 

Jodi B. Aronoff McKibben, Ph.D., obtained her doctorate in clinical psychology from Ohio University. Her clinical work has focused on the areas of trauma, anxiety, and depression. Her research experiences have primarily dealt with the areas of trauma, dissociation, neuropsychology, and cultic studies. She first became involved with research on cults in 1994 when she joined with two other colleagues to form a Cultic Studies Lab at Ohio University. This lab worked closely with Dr. Paul Martin at the Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center to investigate the psychological sequalae of cult involvement. Ms. McKibben has also compared simulators and college students to persons with cult experiences to see how these groups would differ in reported symptomatology. She is currently investigating the possibility of biases in the diagnosis of persons with cult experiences. Ms. McKibben also provides statistical consultation
