He has helped to shape the field through his unflagging commitment to psychotherapeutic outcomes research and program evaluation, his many and widely consulted publications, his highly respected editorship of the premier journals in the field, including his current editorship of Professional Psychology, and his work on innovative and intensive mental health school programs for seriously emotionally disturbed children.
