Research and Publications

Research
One of Diane's primary interests (both for research and practice) is trauma-related issues, both at the micro (such as PTSD in individuals) and macro level (such as cultural trauma or ethnic cleansing). Her clinical experience began with working with Holocaust survivors and their children in a Jewish hospital in New York City. Since then she has had extensive experience in working with women living with PTSD.  Other areas of interest for Diane include Grief & Trauma, Complementary & Alternative Medicine, and Women's Studies.
