Phebe Sessions is interested in the implications for clinical practice of the integration of social, cultural and psychological theories. She currently has been exploring the relevance of narrative therapies, based on poststructural theories for collaborative models of practice in the inner-city schools. She is also interested in the integration of narrative with developmental models.
Sessions' practice and research background includes both psychodynamic and family therapy theories and practice models.
