Lauren B. Alloy is an internationally recognized researcher in the area of mood disorders. Her research focuses on cognitive, interpersonal, and biopsychosocial processes in the onset and maintenance of depression and bipolar disorder. Along with her colleagues, Lyn Abramson and Gerald Metalsky, she is the author of the hopelessness theory of depression, and she discovered, with Lyn Abramson, the "sadder but wiser" (or "depressive realism") effect. In 1984 Dr. Alloy was awarded the American Psychological Association's Young Psychologist Award, and since then she has also received the APA's Master Lecturer Award in Psychopathology (jointly with Lyn Abramson), Temple University's Paul W. Eberman Faculty Research Award, APA Division 12's Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award (jointly with Lyn Abramson), and the Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology Distinguished Scientist Award. Professor Alloy is a Fellow of the APA and American Psychological Society, and author of more than 140 scholarly publications. She has also served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice, Cognitive Therapy and Research, and the Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy: An International Quarterly, and as Guest Editor for the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Cognitive Therapy and Research, Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy: An International Quarterly, and the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology.
