The Morein Lab aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding of mental health difficulties relating to compulsivity and impulsivity. Our research integrates experimental psychology, psychiatry and cognitive neuroscience . To date, our research has focused in particular on Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD), Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and increasingly Hoarding Disorder (HD). The lab is led by Professor Sharon Morein (aka Morein-Zamir) and is based at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK. For more information about hoarding please check out the dedicated site of the The ARU Possessions and Hoarding Collective
Excited to see Enes's first publication "Attitudes to possessions in emerging adults: Predictors of hoarding behaviours and beliefs", great workand an exciting milestone!
Great to see our paper out: “Falling between the cracks”: Investigating the competing challenges experienced by professionals working with people who hoard - amazing coincidence to have come out during National Hoarding Awareness Week
Congratulations to Hannah on our paper "Too much of a good thing? When empathy becomes associated with depression and anxiety in women" - the fourth from her PhD and the first (of many?) for Rachel
Congratulations to Laura and Enes, both have done an excellent job presenting their research (and winning awards while they're at it)
Looking forward to travelling to EABCT in Glasgow - can't wait to see everyone there
