Highlights of her research career include being the inaugural recipient of the Centre for Excellence in Traumatic Brain Injury Research Fellowship in 2012-2013; As part of a multi-centre study, she piloted a group therapy program of anger management for individuals with severe TBI. She also has continuing involvement with the longitudinal study of psychiatric disorders after TBI.
Since late 2013, Dr Gould has worked on an ISCRR funded study to understand challenging behaviours after TBI. This study is now in its second phase, and currently, Dr Gould, together with Professor Jennie Ponsford AO, Professor Malcolm Hopwood, Dr Tim Feeney and Amelia Hicks, are delivering and evaluating a landmark 3-year positive behaviour support intervention for challenging behaviours after acquired brain injury, again funded by ISCRR. Dr Gould regularly presents at local and international conferences, showcasing the centre’s psychiatric and neurobehavioural research to world leading brain injury experts and consumers. She supervises and lectures doctoral and honours students in clinical psychology and clinical neuropsychology at Monash University.
