Who designed the Emotion Trainer?
A qualified Clinical Psychologist designed the program, based on an up-to-date understanding of psychological theory about emotional understanding.
She has been involved in updating the program and hopes to evaluate the new version through a randomised controlled trial, as soon as she can obtain research funding.
About the Author
The Emotion Trainer was designed by Dr Miriam Silver, BSc, MSc, ClinPsyD, C.Psychol, AFBPsS. She is a practising Clinical Psychologist and honorary lecturer at two universities, who currently works in an NHS Child Adolescent and Family service in England.
In collaboration with colleagues in the local team, Dr Silver sees several families every week with autistic spectrum disorder, and is still regularly involved in assessment and diagnosis of school-aged children. It was her commitment to this client group, and her frsutration at the lack of post-diagnosis resources, that led her to develop the EmotionTrainer computer program.
