Research on therapy

The vast majority of clients who complete therapy report significant gains. Nine out of 10 couples completing a course of Emotionally Focused Therapy see significant improvement. For more on the research base supporting therapy in general and my methods in particular, please click here.

My Research

I am involved in several research projects as part of my academic position with Alliant International University. My research includes the following topics:

     Cost-effectiveness of marital therapy
     MFTs' endorsement of myths about marriage
     Attitudes toward marriage
     Sexuality education
     Student development in graduate education in MFT

My research on MFTs' attitudes toward marriage and their endorsement of myths about marriage won the 2005 American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Dissertation Award.

I will be posting some details and results of my research here pending copyright permissions. In the meantime, if you are interested in more on my research in any of these topics, please email me.
