My interests, which, lie at the intersections of anthropology and psychology, include psychological anthropology, cultural psychology, cultural psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and trauma. As a psychotherapist, I incorporate cultural inquiry into clinical practice. I have written about the dynamics of intercultural psychological treatments, and about culture and mental health. I am currently writing a book about New York City psychotherapists who worked closely with individuals injured on 9/11.
