Reg Williams, Ph.D., R.N., is a professor emeritus in the School of Nursing. Dr. Williams's primary area of expertise is depression and stress and, accordingly, most of his research focused on interventions to reduce stress and symptoms of depression. He was the Principal Investigator for five research grants funded by DoD and TriService Nursing Research Program to investigate stress, coping, and depression specifically in members of the military. The studies represent a program of research to develop an intervention that assists military members in managing stressful conditions. In the last study, he adapted the Stress Gym Internet Intervention program to help combat casualty patients with the stress of their combat injuries and to evaluate the website by nurses who provide care to these patients. Even in retirement, he maintains a practice at the Depression Center, Department of Psychiatry where he carries a small caseload of patients who experience depression.
