Welcome to the research lab website of Dr. Chris King at Montclair State University, in Montclair, New Jersey. I can be contacted at kingch@montclair.edu.
My research team focus on intersections of clinical psychology and law, using both psychological science and legal research strategies. I also have professional interests in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and supervise a DBT training clinic that serves persons involved with the criminal legal system during their transition back to the community.
For interested students—including advice for training in the human services generally or health service psychology specifically; instructions for Montclair State students to apply to volunteer as a research assistant in my lab; and prospective PhD applicants interested in being mentored by me (including whether I will be considering PhD applications during an upcoming application cycle)—refer to the Applying page.
