Curing the Dread of Death (ePub)

Rachel Menzies completed her honours degree in psychology at the University of Sydney, taking out the Dick Thompson Thesis Prize for her work on the dread of death and its relationship to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). She published her first paper on death fears in Clinical Psychology Review as an undergraduate student, and followed this by convening a symposium on the topic at the 8th World Congress of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies in Melbourne in 2016. Her manuscript on death fears and OCD was the lead paper in the first edition of the Australian Clinical Psychologist.

Professor Ross Menzies completed his undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees in psychology at the University of NSW. He is currently Professor of Psychology in the Graduate School of Health, University of Technology Sydney (UTS). In 1991, he was appointed founding Director of the Anxiety Disorders Clinic at the University of Sydney, a post which he held for over 20 years. He is the past New South Wales President, and twice National President, of the Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (AACBT). He is the editor of Australia’s national CBT journal, Behaviour Change, and has trained psychologists, psychiatrists and allied health workers in CBT around the globe.

Lisa Iverach has published several theoretical and experimental papers on the topic of death anxiety, including a comprehensive review regarding the role of anxiety in psychopathology, which appeared in Clinical Psychology Review. She has also shared her knowledge of death anxiety at conferences and via several media interviews. Lisa recently made a career transition into the government sector, and is now coordinating research projects with universities around Australia to understand the relationship between human behaviour and future transport (e.g., drones, electric cars, automated vehicles), which fascinates her just as much as death anxiety does.
