Current Studies

  • The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between rejection sensitivity, loneliness, depression, emotion regulation, and the quality and quantity of current relationships as they relate to loneliness.

    *Manuscript in progress

  • We have developed a measure of DBT consultation teams functioning and would like to pilot it with approximately ten consultation teams. We want to know whether this measure improves the functioning of the team and if they are better therapists as a result.

    *In the process of data collection

  • Are there differences in emotion regulation strategies by race? Is there an association between coping strategies and racist experiences?
