Bio/Research
Dr. Larsen's primary interest is in the study of hope especially as it relates to counselling and educational practices. Her research broadly focuses on how hope is experiences and constructed by both clients and helping professionals during care interactions. At present, she is especially interested how language is used during caregiving conversations to both explicitly and implicitly address hope. In related research, she is also a member of an interdisciplinary research team examining compassion fatigue across a variety of professions. Dr. Larsen's research is and has been funded by several sources including federal granting agencies (SSHRC) and local funders. She is involved in several international research collaborations related to hope. She also teaches a university credit course on hope, entitled, Hope and the Helping Relationship, at both the undergraduate and graduate student levels. Dr. Larsen maintains a limited counselling psychology practice through the Hope Foundation of Alberta.
