Robyn L. Gobin

A licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois, Robyn L. Gobin teaches in the Department of Kinesiology and Community Health at Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, and took her PhD in clinical psychology at Oregon. Her research develops and tests treatments for people affected by interpersonal trauma, including funded work on recovery among women veterans and on how cultural context shapes recovery for African Americans. The Self Care Prescription, out in 2019, is a set of exercises rather than an argument: it splits wellbeing into six areas, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, intellectual and vocational, and sets practical exercises for each. Gobin also keeps a private practice and works as a paid speaker and continuing-education trainer.
