Biography:

My research interests are on the classification and validation of the personality disorders, with special interest in the Depressive Personality Disorder. I also have interests in the performance-based assessment, especially the Rorschach, and in the empirical underpinnings of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theory and therapy.  I am fully licensed in the states of Michigan and Texas and maintain a small private practice in Novi, Michigan.  My professional affiliations include:  the American Psychological Association, the Society for Personality Assessment, and the American Psychoanalytic Association (Research Associate).  I am an Associate Editor for the Journal of Personality Disorders and am on the Editorial Boards of Personality Disorders: Theory, Research, and Treatment and the Journal of Personality Assessment.
