Research Interests

For the past 20 years I have been conducting intervention research to reduce distress in older adults & their family members. Initially (with colleagues) we investigated the efficacy of psychotherapies (cognitive/ behavioral {CBT} & psychodynamic) to treat late-life depression. In the final study in that series we found that CBT was significantly better than anti-depressant medication for short term treatment of major depression. More recently I have focused on the development and evaluation of a psychosocial program "coping with caregiving" that teaches a wide range of coping skills to distressed family caregivers of dementia victims. These programs have shown that the CWC is significantly better than telephone based control conditions in reducing distress & improving quality of life. Currently, materials are available in the Spanish & Chinese languages. We are also part of a multi-site study of effective caregiver interventions(funded by NIA)that enrolled 600 caregivers (African American, Caucasian, & Hispanic/Latino)that just ended. Results will be available in early 2005. Plans are underway to extend these studies to male caregivers of various ethnic groups. Finally, we are collaborating with Dr. David Spiegel to investigate the role of cortisol & other physiological indices of stress to caregivers' overall distress. That work is in progress and results should be available late 2005.
