Her research interests revolve around her clinical work and experiences. She mainly interested on the complex interrelationships in family subsystems, and their potential influence on child development. Currently she focuses on parental mentalization (especially the assessment of Parental Reflection and Mind-Mindedness) as a moderator and ‘protective factor’ for child development in the face of risks such as parents’ anxiety, marital conflict, and the COVID-19 pandemic. She also studies the impact of mentalizing therapeutic interventions with parents on the parents’ and children’s wellbeing.
