Dr. Katz is a Senior Research Scientist at the
Social Research Center and an Assistant Professor and
Director of the Master’s in Clinical Psychology Program at
Towson University. She is also a licensed clinical
psychologist and mother of two delightful daughters (ages 5
and 11). She has extensive experience treating substance
abusing, criminal-justice involved, and mental health
patients. In addition, she has spent much of her career
training and supervising clinicians working with these same
populations. Her research interests include enhancing entry
and engagement in treatment of substance dependent patients,
improving treatment outcomes and reintegration of
drug-involved offenders, and developing and evaluating
treatment approaches that are theoretically-based and
feasible for implementation within community treatment
settings. She is principal investigator on a NIDA-funded
study examining role induction as a strategy for facilitating
the transition of opioid-addicted outpatients from a 30-day
buprenorphine detoxification into longer-term drug-free
treatment. Dr. Katz is co-investigator on another NIDA-funded
study designed to develop and evaluate behavioral therapies
for reducing substance use and recidivism for drug-involved
offenders.
In association with NIDA- and SAMHSA-funded research, Dr.
Katz has developed several detailed therapy manuals for
treating substance dependent patients entering drug-free
treatment or enrolled in detoxification; substance dependent
adolescents; and drug-involved parolees and probationers. She
has also been responsible for training of clinical and Parole
and Probation staff who are delivering these interventions. Dr. Katz has also delivered several well-received workshops
on the Role Induction intervention she developed with her
colleagues, Dr. Barry Brown and Dr. Robert Schwartz. Dr. Katz
is a member of the American Psychological Association and the
College on Problems of Drug Dependence. |
