    About Dr. Weaver

    Dr. Terri L. Weaver is a professor of clinical psychology at Saint Louis University. Her work broadly focuses on the inter-relationships amongst interpersonal violence and its outcomes in domains of physical and mental health. This research frequently forges interdisciplinary collaborations with healthcare professionals. Dr. Weaver's research lens is trauma-informed, and she is particularly interested in studying outcomes of posttraumatic stress disorder, body image disturbance, depression and substance use disorders. She has also translated her research and clinical work to serve the trier of fact as an expert witness in civil and criminal cases, often involving individuals who have harmed or killed their romantic partner in the context of intimate partner violence. Her work is informed by cross-cutting theories and integrates areas of clinical, developmental, health, and medical psychology. Outcomes of her research have policy, practice and social justice implications.
