Stephen was awarded his doctorate from London's institute of Psychiatry in 1991 for his research with survivors of disaster. For the past twenty years he has continued to teach and research the topic of psychological trauma and seek an answer to the question of why it is that for one person recovery is a struggle, but for another trauma becomes their springboard to a more meaningful life.
He has co-written or co-edited several professional books, including: Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress, Positive Psychology in Practice, Person-Centred Psychopathology, Positive Therapy, Person-Centred Practice, Trauma, Recovery and Growth, and Post-Traumatic Stress: The Facts.
