His scholarship is in the area of intra-familial and interpersonal trauma: psychopathology, treatment efficacy, and strategies for intervention. His most recent book on trauma treatment is entitled: Trauma & the Struggle to Open Up: From Avoidance to Recovery & Growth. It won the 2019 Written Media Award for the previous year’s best work on trauma, given by the International Society for the Study of Trauma & Dissociation (ISSTD).
