| Research |
Dr. Clark's research focuses on elucidating relational patterns that contribute to divergent outcomes for the development of attention and emotional regulation processes in young children and the constitutional and relational factors that may amplify developmental pathways leading to subsequent childhood psychopathology. She is currently the Principal Investigator on two NIMH funded studies. The first is examining the efficacy of a mother-infant relational psychotherapeutic approach for women experiencing depression in the postpartum period. The second is a collaborative study with investigators at Yale University, University of Massachusetts-Boston and Boston University Medical Center investigating the validity of screening and assessment instruments of social-emotional functioning in infants and young children and parent-child relational quality. |
