Peter Wilson's interests are in the area of clinic and health psychology with the scientist-practitioner model. My main research has been on (1) the cause and treatment of depression, (2) effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral management of chronic health problems as tinnitus (ringing in the ears), pain and diabetes. With the late Dr Jane Henry (University of New South Wales), Peter Wilson has published a series of studies on congnitive behavior therapy for tinnitus. His most recent work involves a large-scale dual study evaluation of relapse prevention for psychological distress related to tinnitus. We have also published two books on tinnitus.
