Dr. Lin Yu is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Middlesex University's Faculty of Science and Technology. Their research focuses on psychological aspects of chronic pain management, particularly the role of self-concept, psychological flexibility, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Current teaching includes the Research Methods and Ethics in Psychology module. Doctoral supervision involves studying psychosocial risk factors for depression in diabetes patients under Kristina van Dam's thesis. Research outputs emphasize ACT efficacy, pandemic mental health impacts, and chronic pain assessment tools.
Key research interests include psychological treatments for chronic pain, patient self-perception dynamics, and mental health correlations with physical symptoms. Articles highlight innovative ACT applications, pandemic stress effects on pain patients, and stigma quantification in chronic pain contexts. No formal awards are listed, but active supervision and interdisciplinary collaboration are evident. No specific lab affiliations are mentioned, though collaborative work with colleagues like Prof. McCracken is prominent in publications.
