research has focused on identifying family and peer factors that increase
adolescents' vulnerability for depression and problem behaviors that include
risky sexual behavior, substance abuse, and delinquent activity. Currently,
we are evaluating Attachment Based Family Therapy and Non-Directive Supportive Therapy for depressed and suicidal adolescents. This work is designed to
understand how attachment, emotion regulation, reflective capacity and
parent-adolescent communication change during therapy. We are also
investigating pre-treatment factors that have the potential to influence
treatment outcomes. Prospective students should have a strong interest in parenting,
adolescent attachment, parent-adolescent communication or adolescent problem
behaviors.</p></div> | <div class="ExternalClassFF0DF279D4FB4C1C8EFB8CEEB82F42C5"><p>Ph.D., University
