Research and clinical interests

My research and clinical interests revolve around the general domain of promoting children’s adjustment to divorce. Within this broad domain are developing structured and empirically valid approaches to promote and assess parenting, and developing and validating child custody evaluation strategies. Public policy and legislative efforts that reflect the application of scientific psychological principles also comprise a major professional focus of mine.
