Biography

Keith Bredemeier, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware. He received his doctoral degree in clinical/community psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Bredemeier's research focuses on understanding risk factors for different forms of emotional distress (e.g., excessive worry) and related problems (e.g., suicidal ideation), with a focus of cognitive traits (e.g., intolerance of uncertainty) and processes (e.g., executive function deficits) implicated in these issues. He also studies the clinical implications of this work, spanning treatment protocol development, outcome evaluation, and outcome prediction. In his clinical work and supervision, Bredemeier specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapies for anxiety, depression, and related problems in adults, with a particular focus on exposure therapies, as well as diagnostic and cognitive assessment.
