Research Interests
Louis Castonguay's primary research interest concerns the process and outcome of different forms of psychotherapy. He studies the nature and impact of the therapist's interventions, client's experience, and therapeutic relationship. He has also been involved in the development and investigation of integrative therapies (combining cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, interpersonal, and psychodynamic procedures) for depression and generalized anxiety disorder. He is also involved in the development of Practice Research Networks, which are designed to foster researchers and clinicians collaboration in conducting naturalistic studies in psychotherapy and related fields of research.
