Research Interest
My research focuses on the outcome and process of various psychotherapies (especially psychodynamic and cognitive therapies) for depression, panic disorder, PTSD, substance dependence and personality disorders. In terms of psychotherapy process research, I have examined the impact of the therapeutic alliance and of therapists’ use of theoretically relevant interventions on the outcome of different therapies. I have specific interest on models of therapeutic changes that incorporate both relational and technical factors. I have great interest in different methodologies to evaluate the efficacy of different interventions (from randomized clinical trials to naturalistic studies) Outside of treatment research, I have also conducted research on individual core conflicts, personality, and meta cognition in different populations including Children of Holocaust Survivors.
