Charlotte is in the first year of her PhD Program in Clinical Psychology. Her research program looks at the ways in which parents’ and youths’ ability to consider the perspectives of others relates to youths’ ability to form meaningful social connections in adolescence. For her Master’s thesis, Charlotte examined how parent and youth mentalizing related to youth social ability, and how parents’ ability to respond sensitively to their teenagers changes during times of stress, like COVID-19.
