Master’s Student in Clinical Psychology STARTING FALL 2025

Calvin recently obtained his Masters of Science in Forensic Psychology from Ontario Tech University. His CGS-M SSHRC funded dissertation explored staff and patient perceptions of barriers to sex and intimacy in an intimacy recovery service. His current research focuses on sexual violence, with an emphasis in two key areas: 1) improving measurement tools that assess the risk of sexually violent behaviour, and 2) evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for individuals who commit sexually violent crimes. For his project, Calvin is attempting to increase the ability of the Revised Screening Scale for Pedophilic Interests (SSPI-2) to identify pedophilia by developing and testing a series of indicators reflecting emotional identification with children. He also works as a research analyst in the Sexual Behaviour Clinic at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
