Interests |
My research interest is attachment in the family, and has explored two main areas of attachment. One is the role of children's attachment to their parents in understanding the link between interparental conflict and child adjustment. The second area of research has focused on the role of adult romantic attachment in understanding the links between marital conflict, emotions, and marital satisfaction.
My primary clinical interest is working with children who have behavior problems and their parents. Therapy usually focuses on such things as parenting skills, behavior management, and working to improve the parent-child relationship. |
