Join host Ned Buskirk in conversation with Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss and Social Stress (GLASS) Lab, investigating the effects of grief on the brain and the body. Her book The Grieving Brain was included on Oprah’s list of Best Books to Comfort a Grieving Friend. O’Connor holds a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Arizona and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in psychoneuroimmunology at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. Her newest book, The Grieving Body: How the Stress of Loss Can Be an Opportunity for Healing, a follow-up to The Grieving Brain, this time focuses on the impact of grief—and life’s other major stressors—on the human body.
