Biography
John Porcerelli joined University of Detroit Mercy's faculty in 2016. He is a Professor of Psychology and the director of the Psychology Clinic. From 1996 to 2016, Porcerelli held the rank of professor and served as Director of Behavioral Medicine in the residency program in the Department of Family Medicine & Public Health Sciences, Wayne State University School of Medicine. At University of Detroit Mercy, he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses and supervises psychotherapy and doctoral dissertations. He is board certified in clinical psychology and clinical health psychology, American Board of Professional Psychology, and is a graduate of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, Society for Personality Assessment, American Academy of Clinical Psychology, American Academy of Health Psychology, and the Michigan Psychological Association.
Porcerelli’s research interests have spanned both personality dynamics as well as health psychology. He has conducted studies of object relations and defense mechanisms development, changes in these constructs in response to psychological treatments, the relationship between psychodynamic personality constructs and psychopathology, and outcome of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. As a health psychologist, he has conducted studies of collaborative care (i.e., physicians working side-by-side psychologists in medical settings), predictors of difficult physician-patient relationships, accuracy of self-ratings of physicians during objective structured clinical exams, and has developed curricula for collaborative care in residency programs. His paper titled, "Defense Mechanisms in Pregnant Mothers Predict Attachment Security, Social/Emotional Competence, and Behavioral Problems in Their Toddlers" (American Journal of Psychiatry), won the American Psychoanalytic Association’s Research Award for the greatest scientific contribution to the field of psychoanalysis in 2016. He and his colleague, Alissa Huth-Bocks, Ph.D. (Cleveland Clinic) were funded by the International Psychoanalytic Association for their study of "Stability & Change in Defense Mechanisms from Pregnancy to 2-Years Post Pregnancy" (Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 2022). The Division of Psychoanalysis & Psychoanalytic Psychology of the American Psychological Association awarded Porcerelli with their 2022 Annual Research Award. In 2021, Porcerelli received a faculty appointment from the Department of Psychiatry, Mass General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, to conduct additional studies within the Harvard Study of Adult Development.
Porcerelli is a reviewer for several psychology and medical journals and currently serves as a consulting editor for the Journal of Personality Assessment. For the last 28 years, he has also maintained a private practice in clinical psychology in Birmingham, Michigan.
