Research Study needs professionals from mental health field who provide direct therapeutic service 

Dear Participant,

My name is Angie Reather and I am a doctoral student in clinical psychology at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. Currently, I am conducting research for my doctoral degree project. My research project is on psychotherapy and the college student population and I am looking for participants to complete an online survey. This research project has been approved by the IRB at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology (protocol number: 20110010).

The online survey will take approximately 15 minutes. Participants will be asked to read two clinical vignettes and respond to follow-up questions regarding the vignettes. There will also be a short demographic questionnaire. All information given by participants is anonymous and will be kept private and confidential.

I am recruiting participants from several disciplines and the only requirement is that the participant works in the mental health field and provides direct therapeutic service to a clinical population.


To participant in the survey, please follow the directions below:
