| Research |
| Dr. Clark's research focuss 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. |
