Overview
My undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in psychology were both obtained in Tbilisi, Georgia (former Soviet Union) at Tbilisi State University and Uznadze Institute of Psychology, respectively. In 1993, I came to Britain as a Royal Society Postdoctoral Fellow to work with Judi Ellis at the University of Wales College of Cardiff. I joined the Department of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, in the capacity of Independent Research Fellow, in 1995.
