Dr. Rappaport earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from McGill University, completed a pre-doctoral internship in Montréal QC, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond VA.
Dr. Rappaport’s research uses diverse methodologies to elucidate socioemotional mechanisms in the etiology and development of anxiety and mood disorders from childhood through adulthood. For example, current work in his laboratory leverages ecological momentary assessment; laboratory-based assessment; longitudinal & genetic epidemiology; and novel statistical approaches to examine socioemotional processes (e.g., phasic distress, emotion recognition) as distinct mechanisms in the development, assessment, and treatment of internalizing psychopathology in children, adolescents, and adults.
