Rebecca is particularly interested in the varied clinical manifestations of mood disorders and the epidemiology of psychiatric conditions. Her main research areas have been in using new technologies to monitor mood, and in the efficacy and safety of lithium therapy in bipolar disorder. Rebecca has trained in general adult psychiatry and as well as clinical work, is active in undergraduate teaching and clinical leadership. Rebecca lives in Oxford with her husband and two young sons. Jonathan Price studied medicine at Cambridge and Oxford, completed an undergraduate degree in Physiology and Psychology, and was committed to a career in psychiatry from his first encounter during his undergraduate attachment. Via Shropshire, Nottingham and Birmingham, he returned to Oxford, where he completed his training in adult psychiatry, old age psychiatry, and psychological medicine, and undertook a research fellowship in health services research. He was responsible for the undergraduate course in psychiatry for 16 years, aiming to encourage medical students to pursue a career in a specialty that is absorbing, challenging, moving and inspiring. He now divides his time between Oxford and the hills and waters of North West Wales. John Geddes is Head of Department and Professor of Epidemiological Psychiatry at Oxford University.
