Current research interests and clinical developments:
expanding and evaluating the 'trial for change' extended assessment/treatment programme, aimed at assessing and facilitating parents' capacity to make changes in order to care for their children safely and appropriately
a comparison of autistic features in a maltreated sample compared to a sample of idiopathic high functioning autism
a study of complex PTSD symptoms in children referred to ATT
audit of the ethnicity of children referred to ATT to ensure that we offer an inclusive and accessible service, regardless of background
