Dr. Skye Fitzpatrick is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at York University and the director of the Treating and Understanding Life-threatening behaviour and Posttraumatic stress (TULiP lab). Dr. Fitzpatrick is focused on demystifying, destigmatizing, and broadening access to treatments for borderline personality disorder (BPD), emotion dysregulation, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She specifically aims to optimize, expedite, and expand access to interventions for these disorders by targeting them alongside the social contexts that they are nested within. Her research can be organized into four interrelated streams. The first involves advancing understanding of the nature of BPD and its social context through experimental, ecological momentary assessment, and observational studies. The remaining three involve using clinical trial methodologies to develop and test Sage– a brief, conjoint intervention for people with BPD and their significant others; scalable interventions for PTSD; and interventions for comorbid BPD and PTSD. Dr. Fitzpatrick has published ~100 peer-reviewed manuscripts and book chapters to these ends. She has also been awarded over $9.5 million CAD in grant and scholarship funding for work in these and related areas. She regularly provides clinical trainings and research presentations nationally and internationally on these topics.
