Carl Weems
Professor and Chair at Iowa State University

Carl Weems is a Professor and the Chair of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at Iowa State University. Previously, he was a professor at the University of New Orleans.[1]

Education

Dr. Weems received his bachelor's degree in psychology from Florida State University in 1993, his master's degree in experimental psychology from Hollins University in 1995, his doctoral degree in lifespan developmental psychology from Florida International University in 1999, and he completed post-doctoral study at Stanford University.[1]

Career

Dr. Weems' career has centered on basic and translational research in developmental psychology. His research is focused on testing contextual, bio-behavioral, and cognitive-developmental models of emotional development and emotional dysregulation. This work targets positive emotional development as well as risk and resilience following environmental crises and other traumatic stress experiences. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and Association for Psychological Science. His research has been funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, National Institute of Justice, State Agencies, Private Foundations, and Industry. His scholarly works include over 160 peer-reviewed journal articles and a book titled The Neuroscience of Pediatric PTSD.[2] As of September 2023, his scholarship has been cited over 17,200 times (Google Scholar; h index of 73) by other researchers with national and international impact. A complete list of his Published Works is available on Google Scholar and ResearchGate.[3][4]

Dr. Weems is the principal investigator of the main ISU Child Welfare Research and Training Project grants (CWRTP.)[5] These projects are aimed at using psychological science and empirical data to inform state social services practice and train state workers. He is also the Co-Principal Investigator/Co-director of Enabling Sustainable Community Health through a Transdisciplinary Translational Research Network (UTURN.)[6] Since 2008 he has served as editor-in-chief of the Child and Youth Care Forum, a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed academic journal.[7]

Dr. Weems' scientific contributions include creating a model describing the effect of traumatic stress on amygdala development, proposing a network model of PTSD in childhood and adolescence, and providing a revised model of adverse childhood experiences called Traumatic and Adverse Childhood Experiences (TRACEs) integrating the neuroscience of PTSD.[8][9][10] The revised model is illustrated and available for community use.[11] His work in theory has also included a model for understanding the developmental expression of anxiety disorders across childhood and adolescence through understanding the role of statistical suppressor effects.[12] Additional contributions are in intervention development and prevention programming for child and youth anxiety and PTSD.[13] This research spans cognitive and behavioral methodology as well as physiological and neuroimaging studies and weaves the basic clinical science with applications in assessment, intervention development, prevention programming development, and prevention evaluation.[14]
