Dr. Dobson is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Calgary in Canada, where he has also served in other roles, including Head of Psychology and Director of the Clinical Psychology program. His research has focused on both cognitive models and mechanisms in depression, and the treatment of depression, particularly using cognitive-behavioural therapies. He has participated in several trials of the treatment of acute depression, as well as prevention of depression. A current focus of his work is on the prediction and prevention of relapse in depression. Dr. Dobson’s research has resulted in over 260 published articles and 80 chapters, 15 books, and numerous conference and workshop presentations in many countries. His books include Evidence-based Practice of Cognitive-behavior Therapy (2017, with Deborah Dobson, Guilford Press), The Therapeutic Relationship in Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (2017, with N. Kazantzis and F. Dattilio, Guilford Press), and the Handbook of Cognitive-behavioral Therapies (4th Edition) (2019, Guilford Press).

In addition to his research in depression, Dr. Dobson has been engaged in the examination of psychological approaches and treatments in primary care. This work has resulted in research that is related to the integration of evidence-based treatments in family practice. He has written about developments in professional psychology and ethics, and has been actively involved in organized psychology in Canada, including a term as President of the Canadian Psychological Association. He is a former President of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy and the International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy, the Canadian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies, and is President of the World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies.

Dr. Dobson is also a Principal Investigator for the Opening Minds program of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, with a focus on stigma reduction related to mental disorders in the workplace.
