I have a number of research interests which fall under the umbrella of psychotherapy outcome and process research. My research focuses on the evaluation of treatment outcome using meta-analytic methods. I also study methodological issues in meta-analysis (e.g, publication bias), and psychotherapy research more generally (e.g., the statistical analysis of nested data). Additionally, I study the change process during therapy, focusing on how patients' change is influenced by others, including the therapist in individual therapy, group members in group therapy, and partners in couples therapy. I also have interests in theories of mental illness, philosophy of science, and evaluation theory.
