The Association for Psychological Science (APS) recently announced James Herbert’s new role as the president of UNE in an article titled “Clinical Researcher Named President of University of New England.”

The article describes Herbert’s research as focused on “cognitive behavior therapy; anxiety, mood, and eating disorders; remote internet-based treatment, and the promotion of evidence-based practice in mental health care” and noted that he is "known internationally for his writings on pseudoscience in mental health.”

Herbert, who holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, served many roles at Drexel University before coming to UNE. His positions included interim provost, senior vice president for Academic Affairs, head of the Department of Psychology, director of the Anxiety Treatment and Research Program and director of the Ph.D. Program in Clinical Psychology, among others.
