TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Integrating psychotherapy research with public health and public policy goals for incarcerated women and other vulnerable populations JO - Psychotherapy research A1 - Johnson, Jennifer E. SP - 229 EP - 239 VL - 24 IS - 2 N2 - OBJECTIVE and METHOD: In this article, I review my research applying interpersonal treatments and interpersonal principles from psychotherapy for major depression and substance use to broader public health goals for incarcerated women and other vulnerable populations. RESULTS: A public health focus has led me to expand the boundaries of psychotherapy research to include partners such as prisons, parole officers, and bachelor's level providers; behaviors like risky sex; service delivery challenges; and ultimately to research with an eye toward informing policy and advocacy. CONCLUSIONS: A public health perspective provides context and rationale for conducting sound psychotherapy research; the combination of public health and psychotherapy-specific perspectives can lead to novel research.
