Biography
Dr. Tyson is an Academic Psychologist with a special interest in mental health, neuropsychology and critical psychology. He did his undergraduate psychology degree at Middlesex University, then completed an M.Sc in Cognitive Neuropsychology at the University of Essex. He then moved to the University of Hull to study for his PhD. His thesis here was investigating the cognitive effects of medication used to treat schizophrenia. He has worked at the University of Gloucestershire since 2003, where he pursues his joint passions of research and lecturing. His position as subject group leader for Biological and Behavioural Sciences also means that he is heavily involved in new curriculum developments, as well as overseeing the provision of biology and psychology within the Department of Natural and Social Sciences. Outside of the University he is a trustee of a head injury support charity (Headway), and in his spare time he is co-writing a book exploring past controversies in the history of psychology.
