Research Interests
I am interested in experientially based constructivist approaches to personality and psychotherapy, particularly personal construct psychology. I focus on the use of these approaches for understanding the experience of persons in distress as well as facilitating personality growth in long-term psychotherapy. This work is primarily addressed to understanding and treating severely disturbed persons within a psychotherapeutic framework. Most of my work is co-authored with current or former graduate students.
