Thesis Title: Therapist Self-Disclosure as a Function of Theoretical Orientation and Client Diagnosis (2007)

About

I have three broad categories of research:

1.  Psychosocial Medicine:  obesity prevention and
    treatment; health behavior change; & psychological
    coping with chronic illness

2.  Psychotherapy Research:  process and outcome;
    therapist and patient self-disclosure

3.  Narrative Studies:  a long-time passion of mine, but a
    newer area of scholarship.  Under this umbrella term I
    include Narrative Medicine, Narrative Therapy, and
    Medical/Psychological Humanities. I am especially
    interested in trauma narratives and narrative identity in 
    marginalized populations
