Profile
Professor Burish’s primary research interests are in the areas of stress and coping in general, and coping with cancer in particular. His most recent work examined psychological factors, especially learning, that play a role in the etiology, prevention, and treatment of the side effects of cancer treatments. The goal of this work is to understand the causes of many forms of psychological distress in cancer patients, and to develop effective approaches to predict, prevent, and ameliorate this distress. Professor Burish has been in full-time university administration for several years and currently serves as Notre Dame’s provost.
