Jennifer Freyd Biography

Jennifer Freyd is one of the most popular and richest Psychologist who was born on October 16, 1957 in Providence, United States. Jennifer Joy Freyd (/f r aɪ d / ; born October 16, 1957, in Providence, Rhode Island) is an American researcher, author, educator, and speaker. Freyd is Director, Project on Institutional Courage, Founder, The Center for Institutional Courage, Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon and principal investigator of the Freyd Dynamics Lab. She is a two-time Visiting Scholar at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University (1989–1990 and 2018–2019) and faculty affiliate of the VMWare Women’s Leadership Innovation Lab at Stanford University. Freyd is also a Member of the Advisory Committee, 2019–2023, for the Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education, National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. She is also the leader of the Program on Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Sexual Violence at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.

Around 1990, Freyd severed ties with her parents, stating that a recent therapy had uncovered memories of her father, mathematics professor Peter J. Freyd, abusing her during her childhood. Her parents, Pamela and Peter Freyd, disputed Freyd’s claims of sexual assault, and co-founded the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, which has been described as a US “advocacy group […] for people claiming to have been wrongly accused of physical and sexual abuse.”. Three years after its founding, it had more than 7,500 members.

Institutional betrayal refers to “wrongdoings perpetrated by an institution upon individuals dependent on that institution, including failure to prevent or respond supportively to wrongdoings by individuals (e.g. sexual assault) committed within the context of the institution”. It is an extension of betrayal trauma theory. In a 2013 study, Carly P. Smith and Jennifer Freyd documented the psychological harm caused by institutional betrayal. Freyd and Smith developed the Institutional Betrayal Questionnaire (IBQ), now in its second edition, to measure institutional betrayal across a variety of institutional contexts.

Because of her research on sexual assault and institutional betrayal, Freyd was invited to the White House in 2014 to meet with White House advisors on violence against women, as well as New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, to discuss how her research relates to campus sexual violence. In June 2017, Freyd was invited again to speak at a meeting of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, where she presented on institutional betrayal and sexual harassment in academia. Additionally, in an open essay, entitled “Gender Discrimination, Dr. Jennifer Freyd’s Lawsuit, & Recommendations for Universities,” she underscored the far-reaching consequences of gender discrimination against women in higher education.

Freyd was married to John Quincy “JQ” Johnson III, from 1984 until his death in 2012. Together they have three children.
