Clinical: Caroline has worked in the field of anxiety disorders for many years, and this remains a clinical as well as research interest. In the Psychology Clinic, Caroline provides supervision for adult therapy, and also supervises interns in a number of group programs for young people, both in the Psychology Clinic and in schools. These programs are usually associated with research programs and have included an intervention for children who have been bullied ('Confident Kids'), groups for childhood anxiety and comorbid childhood anxiety and aggression, the Resourceful Adolescent Program, and the Triple P parenting program. Caroline's clinical orientation is cognitive behavioural.
Research: In addition to research in the field of anxiety disorders, Caroline conducts research in the problem of school bullying. For example, her recent projects include the development of a questionnaire to assess the experience of bullying, a model of the relationship between anxiety and being bullied, and a skills-building intervention that aims to help children who are bullied at school. Caroline also has an interest in service delivery, particularly the problem of unmet need.
