Patricia Resick, a psychology professor at UM-St. Louis, is the 1998 winner of the Presidential Award for Research and Creativity. The award, which includes a $15,000 stipend for research, recognizes a UM faculty member for a sustained record of nationally and internationally prominent research or creativity.
Resick established an entire field of research in psychology. She developed therapeutic techniques to treat post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by rape and assault victims.
