Part II: RESEARCH, TEACHING, AND CLINICAL CONTRIBUTIONS
A. Narrative Report of Research, Teaching, and Clinical Contributions
My major areas of teaching, clinical activity and research are directed at enhancing effective clinical practice in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and in negotiation and mediation. I specifically concentrate on the role of race and culture in clinical treatment and in organizations. My teaching and research activities have resulted in theory building in psychopathology, treatment process and in dispute resolution. In conducting this work, I have applied postmodern and multicultural perspectives to improve enhance clinical understanding and efficacy.
As a member of the University of Michigan Psychotherapy Research Project, I worked with colleagues to study negotiation, influence and the management of power in the psychotherapy relationship and in supervisory contexts. These studies included empirical assessments of the therapeutic alliance and treatment outcome as well as the development of qualitative measures derived from intensive study of transcripts of treatment sessions.
Programmatic consideration of the role of race and ethnicity in clinical practice, supervision and in organizational settings are at the center of my endeavors. I have produced a series of interdisciplinary articles on race, gender and clinical process based on contemporary psychoanalytic theory, multicultural perspectives and the findings of social science research (particularly in social psychology). Topics addressed include race and transference, the management of racial enactments and the development of affirmative racial identities. Other projects have explored the impact of digital technology on the expression of personal subjectivity.
I also investigate the psychology of conflict transformation in Alternative Dispute Resolution. This work is aimed at elucidating the relational and interpersonal exchanges that lead to collaborative decision-making. As a Visiting Scholar and Senior Researcher at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School, I have coordinated the efforts of two interdisciplinary working groups on intersections of clinical practice, negotiation and mediation. In this capacity, I had organizational responsibility for convening a conference on “Critical Moments in Negotiation” at Harvard Law School (November 2003). Additional research projects include first impressions in negotiation and in therapy and the development of reflective practice in negotiation contexts (with Professors Michael Wheeler and Gerald Zaltman at Harvard Business School). I have completed an extended study of critical moments in an international mediation relating to an armed conflict in Southeast Asia. With Professor David Laws of the University of Amsterdam and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I am initiating a participant research project developing interviewing frames to promote dialogues about inter-cultural conflict.
For many years, I have taught seminars and workshops on race and clinical practice in university, hospital and corporate settings in addition to university and institute teaching on diagnosis and psychological treatment. With a colleague, I have mentored graduate students at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard’s Divinity School and the Tuft’s Fletcher School of Diplomacy engaged in action research aimed at sponsoring interventions in conflict scenarios at several sites (including the Middle East and Indonesia). I serve as a Tutor at Harvard Medical School for the course “Physician in the Community” where I assist medical students planning programs of intervention in global contexts. In addition, I lecture in the Integrated Clerkship Program and to the Harvard Medical School Psychiatry Interest Group. Under the auspices of the Program on Negotiation, I have chaired a faculty working group for Harvard Medical faculty who teach aspects of conflict management and interpersonal process. As one of two Wade Fellows at Amherst College, I serve in an advisory capacity to the Offices of the Dean and of the President on matters pertaining to undergraduate education and residential life and will develop programming to enhance links between current students and the College’s alumni body.
