Biography

Professor Smith studies the connections between mental illness and social relationships. In particular, he studies the links between depression and marital discord with observational studies of inter-spousal criticism, multi-level modeling of daily diary data, and psychometric investigations. He also studies social relationships and chronic low back pain as well as diagnostic agreement statistics and other topics in quantitative psychology. Professor Smith directs the Notre Dame Marital Therapy and Research Clinic, where he trains doctoral students learning to deliver empirically-supported couples and individual psychotherapy.
