Dan welcomes Dr. Michael Constantino, a professor of clinical psychology and director of the Psychotherapy Research Lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Dr. Constantino discusses the evolution of psychotherapy research, and the importance of understanding therapist effects and patient-therapist matching. Dr. Constantino emphasizes the limitations of one-size-fits-all treatments and explores how matching patients to therapists based on their strengths can lead to better outcomes, particularly for those with severe issues. Dan and Dr. Constantino dive into findings of the Match Trial, which demonstrated significant benefits of matching patients to therapists with proven effectiveness in treating their specific problems.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
