Her doctoral research at Bar-Ilan University examined mechanisms of change in metacognition-based therapy for schizophrenia. During her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Copenhagen, she studied factors influencing the therapeutic relationship as part of a large-scale study in mental health services in Denmark.
