Dr. Mary Lindahl earned a Ph.D. in Psychology and Human Development at the University of <br />
Chicago in 1984, where she received a Woodrow Wilson dissertation fellowship. Following <br />
graduation, she was awarded a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in sociology at Duke University, <br />
after which she joined the faculty as an adjunct and began a private practice. In 1994, she moved <br />
to the Washington area and entered the practice of clinical and forensic psychology.<br />
<br />
Dr. Lindahl has been teaching at Marymount since the fall of 2001, when she was hired to <br />
develop the newly created Forensic Psychology (now Forensic and Legal Psychology) Master’s <br />
degree program; she served as the chair of the department until 2008. Forensic and legal <br />
psychology as a distinct discipline did not exist when she was first trained as a clinician; <br />
therefore, her generation of psychologists mostly learned on the job – usually in the courtroom. <br />
Over the years, she has served as an evaluator or expert witness in over 150 cases. She has been <br />
qualified as an expert in court in clinical psychology, child psychology, post-traumatic stress <br />
disorder, and child trauma in a number of jurisdictions in North Carolina and the Washington area.<br />
<br />
Over the years, Dr. Lindahl has been extensively involved in the field of critical incident stress, <br />
working with victims, as well as with fire, police, and emergency workers after major traumatic <br />
incidents. An important PTSD case, decided by the Supreme Court of Virginia, Fairfax County <br />
Fire and Rescue v. Mottram (2002), grew out of that work. As part of the American Red Cross <br />
Disaster Services Human Resource System, she staffed the Pentagon shelter for the emergency <br />
workers on September 11th and later served on a panel there helping employees with their <br />
reactions to the first anniversary of the attack. Immediately after Hurricane Katrina, she went to <br />
Mississippi for two weeks accompanied by five Marymount forensic students and an alumna to <br />
aid the victims of that disaster.<br />
<br />
Her research interests encompass several areas of the forensic and legal psychology field. She is <br />
the principal investigator of the Marymount/FBI Joint Research Project. With a colleague, she <br />
has developed a therapeutic model for reintegrating families who have been separated by court <br />
actions or allegations of child abuse. She is currently conducting a research project on the <br />
implementation of elementary children’s full participation rights as codified in the U.N. <br />
Convention on the Rights of the Child, using the World Café model. She is also researching <br />
change in student attitudes towards the legal system after working on an actual case of possible <br />
wrongful conviction for murder. Forensic and Legal Psychology students are involved in both of <br />
these current projects. <br />
<br />
Dr. Lindahl loves to travel and has taken student classes to London, Israel/Palestine, Sweden, <br />
and the Czech Republic.<p><b>Publications</b><p>
