Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lindsay Groat"
- Lindsay Groat's recent research focuses on the psychological well-being of professionals in high-stress environments, particularly forensic psychiatrists in Canada, highlighting a significant rate of burnout among this group amid ongoing mental health challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A national survey conducted by Groat found that over half of forensic psychiatrists reported experiencing burnout, aligning with broader trends observed in other Canadian healthcare professionals, and underscoring the need for targeted interventions to address workplace mental health.
- In addition to her work on burnout, Groat's research on psychopathy investigates the capacity of individuals with psychopathy to alter their emotional processing, revealing that while these individuals traditionally show reduced reactivity to negative stimuli, they can actually modulate their responses when prompted, suggesting potential for therapeutic engagement.
