Biography
Dr. Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Calgary and an Adjunct Scientist at University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research at The Royal. Dr. Kim completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Calgary and a CPA accredited psychology residency at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre in the Substance Use and Concurrent Disorders Program. Dr. Kim is also the Chair of CPA’s Addiction Psychology
Dr. Kim’s clinical interests are in providing evidence-based care for people with co-occurring addictions and mental health difficulties. Relatedly, his research interest lies in developing an integrated treatment for substance and behavioural addictions and their mental health comorbidities. Dr. Kim’s research has been funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Gambling Research Exchange Ontario, and the American Psychological Association’s Society of Addiction Psychology. Dr. Kim has also received awards and fellowships from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Banting Post-Doctoral Fellowship; declined), Killam Trusts, and the Canadian Psychological Association.
Dr. Kim directs the Addictions and Mental Health (ADMH) Laboratory. The focus of the ADMH Lab is to identify shared (and unique) psychological risk factors associated with substance (e.g., alcohol, cannabis) and behavioural (gambling, gaming, shopping) addictions and their mental health comorbidities (e.g., depression, anxiety, psychosis, eating disorders). The risk factors we have examined to date include emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, coping skills, childhood trauma, and others. The overall aim of our research is to develop an integrated treatment that simultaneously improves substance use and behavioural addictions and their mental health comorbidities. This research is conducted using surveys and in-depth interviews with people in the community and those seeking treatment for addictions and mental health difficulties. Our work is done in collaboration with researchers both nationally (e.g., Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre) and internationally (e.g., Australia, Brazil).
