Eric A. Fertuck

Eric A. Fertuck is an Associate Professor at The City College of New York (CCNY) within the Department of Psychology. His research focuses on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), investigating social cognition, trust processes, and neurocognitive mechanisms. He is affiliated with the SNAP Lab, which serves as the platform for his empirical studies and clinical research.

Dr. Fertuck's work explores the intersection of emotional regulation, interpersonal dysfunction, and neurobiological correlates in BPD. Key areas include

• trustworthiness appraisal biases
• identity instability
• rejection sensitivity
• transference-focused psychotherapy
• neural plasticity
• interpersonal cognition

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding how BPD features interact with temporal discounting, trust processing, and emotional regulation. His research often integrates translational methodologies, neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI), and behavioral experiments to examine dimensional aspects of BPD, PTSD comorbidity, and therapeutic interventions.
