Helen Moore

I obtained a first class MA (Hons) Psychology degree from the University of Edinburgh in 2006. I am currently in the first year of my PhD at the University of Stirling under the supervision of Dr Alex Gillespie and Professor Lindsay Wilson and I am funded by a departmental studentship.

My research focuses on adaptation in informal care relationships following Traumatic Brain Injury.

Traumatic Brain Injury has a profound impact on the daily life of both those who have sustained the injury and those close to them. The vast amount of care is provided through informal care relationships but how these relationships are affected as a result of brain injury remains poorly understood.

My research will examine perspective taking as well as the impact of relationship adaptation on identity. How partners adapt emotionally, cognitively and practically in tasks of daily living will also be studied.
