Biography

John Rose was Academic Director of the Clinical Psychology Training Course at the University of Birmingham and Director of the new Forensic Clinical Doctorate. Until June 2014 he was also Divisional Psychologist in the Learning Disability Service in the Black Country Partnership NHS Trust.

Prior to this he worked on the Cardiff Clinical Psychology Training Course and as a Clinical Psychologist in a number of different clinical services including Birmingham, Gwent, Cardiff, Oxford and Sandwell.

He has written over 175 articles in academic and professional journals on issues related to cognitive therapy, service design, offenders with intellectual disabilities and staff and organisational issues in intellectual disability services.

He continues to apply his academic interests in practice. He has been consulting with colleagues at the University of the West Indies and the first controlled trial of Anger Management in prison settings in the Caribbean. With colleagues he has completed a major trial of anger management for people with intellectual disabilities where direct care staff are being supported to deliver therapy directly.  He has also (with Biza Kroese) completed a research project funded by The Judith Trust investigating the training needs of staff who work with people who have intellectual disabilities and mental health issues.

Teaching

John Rose has only a limited input to teaching however he continues to supervise PhD students and trainees on professional Doctorates.

Research

John's research has focussed on forensic clinical psychology and his clinical work with people who have intellectual disabilities.  Themes have included the adaptation and development of psychological therapies, particularly Cognitive behavioural therapies. Working with and through staff and family members to improve the quality of life for clients has also been a significant theme of his work.

Helping people develop appropriate day time opportunities, especially work has also been an important focus however, he is keen to develop areas of strong clinical relevance to his clinical work.  More recently he has also been involved in  projects exploring the experience of people with learning disabilities from minority communities.

John has been successful in being part of research grants evaluating the efficacy of EMDR and is also part of a project developing materials to support care staff in reducing the use of psychotropic medication with people with intellectual disability.
