Antonella Bariani

Antonella Bariani is currently a fourth-year clinical psychology PhD student at Alliant International University in San Diego. She has previously earned a master’s in forensic psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, where she completed a thesis on community reactions to offender reintegration and legislation and assisted in research examining cultural diversity in juries. Broadly, her research interests pertain to trauma, multiculturalism, and forensic psychology. More specifically, she is interested in disclosures of sexual assault, sexual violence and trauma, assessments and treatment of traumatized populations, and the influence of cultural identity and acculturative stress on posttraumatic outcomes. Antonella has been recently accepted into the Journal of Law and Behavior Review Program where she provides reviews submitted manuscripts with guidance of associate editors. She also holds a board position in the Student Mentor Club within her current PhD program wherein she helps match incoming students with mentors in an effort to readily offer guidance and support throughout their first year.
