Clinical Faculty Research Interests

The clinical faculty actively model their commitment to integrating both clinical practice and research; the majority serve on the editorial or advisory boards of scholarly journals in clinical psychology and related fields. Several faculty have received substantial research awards from federal agencies in recent years; others serve on national committees involved in directing graduate training and clinical practice. All faculty are expected to model excellence in clinical skills in addition to their research endeavors.
