A Cultural History of Phobia: Don James McLaughlin and Rachel Walker Discuss Popular Science in Early America
Professor McLaughlin and Professor Walker wrote the dissertations that would later become books on the topic of popular science in early America as office neighbors in Philadelphia in 2015. They quickly became close friends and incisive readers of each other’s work. Professor Walker’s book, “Beauty and the Brain: The Science of Human Nature in Early America”, published in 2023, has received numerous accolades, including the Mary Kelley Book Prize in Gender and Women’s History from SHEAR in 2024. Join us for a discussion of early popular science and psychology as we celebrate Professor McLaughlin’s 2025 book, “Phobia and American Literature, 1705-1937: A Therapeutic History.”

Child Nightmare Study
What is it?
This is a behavioral therapy treatment with no overnight visits and no medication. The goal of therapy is to reduce and reframe children’s nightmare frequency and duration.
Who will you be working with?
The supervisors of the project are experts in pediatric mental health and include a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and a Clinical Psychologist. Our team also includes advanced students in the Clinical Psychology program at The University of Tulsa and students and staff at the OU/UTulsa School of Community Medicine.
What will you be asked to do?
Children and their caregiver are asked to complete a virtual phone screen, orientation and consent visit. Then, they will complete a feedback appointment, and if therapy is deemed appropriate, they will attend assessment and therapy visits. After treatment, there will be a follow up phone call and text messages. Throughout the duration of the treatment, sleep trackers will be sent via text message for the child to complete nightly.
Eligibility:
Children and adolescents ages 6-17 who experience at least 1 nightmare per week may be eligible for this study.
Compensation
For the consent, baseline assessment, and each therapy visit, you will receive a $10 gift card. You will receive a $15 gift card for each post-treatment or post-waitlist assessment. We offer a bonus of $50 if you complete all the sessions. This amounts to roughly $150.
Additionally, children and adolescents will be able to choose a small gift from a virtual treasure box at the end of each visit. These gifts will be delivered to them via Amazon prime. We estimate the value of children’s gifts to be $40-$50 total.
