Research

My research interests include psychological trauma and PTSD, stress and development, psychological treatments, (autobiographical) memory, as well as psychopharmacology and psychedelics. I am very open to suggestions for research collaboration on these and related topics. You can reach me at samuli @ kangaslampi . net.

My PhD dissertation concerned mechanisms of change involved in the treatment of posttraumatic stress symptoms by psychological interventions. I continue to be active in the field of psychological trauma and PTSD, with related recent publications. In 2021-2022, I was engaged in a research project related to measuring autobiographical memory function (in Finnish). I’ve also published some research related to psychedelics and MDMA, and now continue this work as postdoctoral researcher at the Psychopharmacology Section of Maastricht University.
