Jordan Bate
Dr. Jordan Bate received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from The New School for Social Research and a BA in History and Political Science from Williams College. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical psychology at Lenox Hill Hospital. Her research is broadly focused on applying attachment theory to child and parent-child psychotherapy. Beyond demonstrating treatment outcomes, she is interested in understanding the process of psychotherapy and exploring questions about what makes psychotherapy interventions effective, as well as how to train clinicians and disseminate new treatments effectively. She has specific interests in studying how trauma and adverse childhood experiences impact individuals and families, as well as interventions designed for pregnant and postpartum women and new parents. Her primary teaching and research interests are focused on psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment theory, mentalization, psychotherapy process, and the therapeutic alliance.
She is one of the authors of Deliberate Practice in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Working With Parents in Therapy: A Mentalization-Based Approach. She has developed the MBT-C Adherence Scale (MBT-CAS) with Norka Malberg and Nick Midgley.
