John W. Lawrence is a Professor at the College of Staten Island (CUNY), specializing in clinical psychology with a focus on psychosocial burn rehabilitation. He completed his PhD at the University of Miami, followed by clinical training at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Miami and a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital. From 1995 to 2002, he served as an attending psychologist at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.

His research centers on the psychosocial adjustment of burn patients, including PTSD, body image, and stigmatization, especially in pediatric populations. He has published extensively in rehabilitation psychology journals, contributing to the validation of measurement tools and comparative studies on body esteem. His work bridges clinical practice and empirical research, aiming to improve long-term psychosocial outcomes for burn survivors.

The trends in his recent publications (2007–2011) reflect a consistent focus on the psychological impact of burn injuries, with an emphasis on pediatric populations, social perception, and measurement validation. His studies often involve collaborative research with colleagues such as Fauerbach, Rosenberg, and Thombs.
