Research Interests:

     Dr. Anderson has published on the processes and outcome of psychotherapy and the integration of research into clinical practice. He is particularly interested in the therapist’s interpersonal skills, the therapeutic alliance, and other indicators of interpersonal process. Examples of studies include a designs in which therapist are selected based on their level of common relational skills such as empathy, persuasiveness, and social skills. Clients treated by therapist with high Facilitative Interpersonal Skills had better outcomes than those clients treatment by therapists with low Facilitative Interpersonal Skills.
     He is also involved in the development and application of existing treatments that integrate interpersonal and experiential interventions. For example, he and colleagues developed a brief, experiential-based treatment that uses emotional disclosure as the primary treatment task. The intervention has been used with patients with rheumatoid arthritis, survivors of sexual assault, and general college student samples. He was awarded the Early Career Award for the International Society for Psychotherapy Research in 2004.
