Dr. Sheikh taught the Psychology of Imagination, Death and Dying, Psychology of Happiness, an undergraduate course in psychotherapy methods, and the graduate course in clinical uses of mental imagery.

Courses Taught

Dr. Sheikh taught the Psychology of Imagination, Death and Dying, Psychology of Happiness, an undergraduate course in psychotherapy methods, and the graduate course in clinical uses of mental imagery.

Research Interests

Currently, I am mainly interested in the clinical and educational uses of mental imagery. Also, transpersonal issues, where the boundaries of psychology and spirituality meet, are of interest to me. I plan to pursue my inquiries into these areas.

Dr. Siderits has an incurable penchant for research pursuits that take years to complete (cf. Siderits, M. A., Johannsen, W. J., and Fadden, T. F. (1985). Gender, role and power: A content analysis of speech. Psychology of Women Quarterly 9 (4), 439-450.). She, therefore, openly warns students that she is in that respect a most unwholesome model. Working with an unusual format can have its own excitement, however, and she is now extending the work on role effects to an examination of gender differences in impairment of listening capacity under conditions of bilateral negotiation vs. group decision making.

Courses Taught

The courses Dr. Siderits taught at Marquette include the psychology of gender roles, the psychology of religion, ethics and professional issues in clinical psychology, and various offerings in the clinical curriculum.

Research Interests

Gender, the psychology of religion, children's issues
