University of South Florida - Regional campus in Sarasota Florida.

Richard Reich, Ph.D. currently holds the position of Visiting Instructor in psychology at the University of South Florida’s Sarasota-Manatee campus. Dr. Reich is also affiliated with USF’s Alcohol and Substance Use Research Institute (ASURI) located on the Tampa campus where he was a graduate student in clinical psychology from 1997-2002 and conducted post-doctoral research from 2002-2005. Dr. Reich received a B.S. in psychology from the College of Charleston in 1994. Dr. Reich’s teaching philosophy is to train students to be synthesizers of information, not simply memorizers—students should be thinkers.

Dr. Reich’s research has been studying the cognitions that contribute to problematic drinking. Specifically, Dr. Reich has studied how what people expect will happen from drinking alcohol contributes to how much they drink, and how they behave under the influence of alcohol.

Dr. Reich lives in Temple Terrace Florida with his wife Julie, and sons Zack, Nate and Eli. When not working and not playing with his family, he loves playing just about any sport and reading literature.
