Dr Jonathan Toussaint has formal qualifications in psychology (Master of Humanities: University of Tasmania) and a PhD in Health Science (Charles Sturt University). His research interests are in the neuroscience of human social behaviour and the important insights on psychopathological conditions where attachment dysregulation is likely to play an important role.
