I have published a variety of academic research articles over the past few years. Use the links below for more information.

Marriage and Family Therapists' Attitudes toward Marriage
In the October 2008 Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy

Marriage and Family Therapists' Endorsement of Myths about Marriage
In the October 2008 American Journal of Family Therapy

In a survey of more than 200 California MFTs, many endorsed common myths about marriage, including such false statements as "'Until death do us part' means significantly more time today than it did 50 years ago, due to higher life expectancy," and "Married women are at greater risk for violence than single women."
