Christine M Nezu

Christine Maguth Nezu, PhD, and her collaborators make a difference by developing effective psychotherapy interventions. The treatment they co-developed, Emotion-Centered Problem-Solving Therapy (EC-PST), is a brief, practical, and user-friendly treatment for diverse problems and populations. It is currently available to Veterans across the country managing stressful life problems and through in-person, computer, and iPhone formats. EC-PST has been adopted by the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Department of Defense as an evidence-based program. EC-PST has also been translated into user-friendly materials and a video animation series to reduce the risk of depression and anxiety in Kenyan women in secondary school. Additionally, Dr. Nezu provides invaluable assistance to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as mental health challenges who are involved in the court system.
