- Profile
 - 
    
I currently work and collaborate with colleagues based in the PEARLS Lab () in the Clinical and Applied Psychology Unit within the Department. A common thread of my work comprises the complementary methodologies of practice-based evidence (large routine datasets) and pragmatic randomised controlled trials in the psychological therapies. I have longstanding collaborations with international researchers, particularly in Germany, the Netherlands, and the US. Recent texts include: Bergin and Garfield's Handbook of Psychotherapy and Behavior Change (Eds. M. Barkham, W. Lutz, & L. G. Castonguay), Wiley, 2021; Routine Outcome Monitoring and Feedback in Psychological Therapies (K. de Jong, J. Delgadillo, & M. Barkham), Open University Press, 2023.
