W. Joel Schneider, PhD
Joel Schneider earned his doctoral degree at Texas A&M University before working as a professor of psychology at Illinois State University. His research interests explore the validity of psychological assessment, the discovery of statistical procedures to increase diagnostic accuracy, and the creation of software to facilitate better clinical decision making. His decision to come to Temple University was largely based on opportunities to collaborate with other scholars with diverse areas of expertise on large-scale projects that will likely influence public policy. Further, he is inspired by the enthusiasm of the graduate students in the counseling psychology program and is invested in their training.
