Dr. Fruzzetti’s research focuses on models of major psychopathology/severe behavior problems (e.g., borderline personality disorder, emotion dysregulation, family aggression and violence, chronic depression) in the context of couples and families, and the development and evaluation of effective treatments for these problems. In particular, he focuses on the further development, evaluation and training of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with individuals, couples, parents, and families for chronic or severe individual and/or family distress.

Dr. Fruzzetti has received grant funding for a major treatment trail comparing DBT with psychodynamic psychotherapy and for the development of effective applications of DBT to women victims of intimate partner abuse.
