Relationship between Mental Health and Burden among Primary Caregivers of Outpatients with Schizophrenia
There is growing recognition that caring for a patient with schizophrenia often results in high levels of perceived burden and poorer overall mental health for caregivers.

Attachment Versus Differentiation: The Contemporary Couple Therapy Debate

Although previous research has identified spouses’ gender role attitudes as p...

Adapting and Pilot Testing a Parenting Intervention for Homeless Families in Transitional Housing

The purpose of this study was to adapt and pilot test a parenting intervention for homeless families in transitional housing. An established adaptation model was used to guide this process.
