Research Interests:
I research depression from a behavioral, or behavior analytic, perspective. We focus on the behavioral model of depression and are currently researching the psychopathology of depression, stigmatizing attitudes about depression, mechanisms of action in psychotherapy for depression, behavioral activation, and functional analytic psychotherapy. Our treatment research focuses on depressed individuals who have not been studied in previous research or have been shown to do poorly with existing treatments.
