Interests

     I am interested in clinical outcome research in general. More specific areas of interests include: The impact of the therapeutic alliance on therapy outcomes, and the impact of supervision on the therapeutic alliance and clinical outcomes. I also am interested in research that focuses on the therapeutic process for those who have been abused and neglected.
