Kate M. Scott, Ph.D., is Professor and Head of Behavioural Science in the Department of Psychological Medicine, Dunedin School of Medicine, University of Otago, New Zealand. Kate M. Scott trained as a clinical psychologist in New Zealand and worked in adult mental health services for several years before being awarded a Rutherford Scholarship to undertake a doctorate at the University of Cambridge. Post-doctoral employment in New Zealand's national health surveys programme shaped her interest in epidemiology. Her research focuses on the intertwining of mental and physical health (she co-edited the World Mental Health volume on this topic) as well as the ways in which mental disorders vary across individuals and cultures.
