Steffany Fredman studies the intimate relationship context of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and develops lifespan couple-based interventions that simultaneously treat PTSD while enhancing couple and family functioning. Her research integrates clinical psychological science, family science, and quantitative methodologies to enhance understanding of how emotional disorders like PTSD affect intimate relationships and, conversely, how these relationships impact individual mental health. Fredman’s work includes pioneering cognitive-behavioral conjoint therapy for PTSD, which has been shown to improve both PTSD symptoms and relationship functioning in community and military couples. She is actively involved in projects that investigate the dynamics of psychological well-being and couple interactions in response to high-stress situations, aiming to create targeted interventions to help individuals and families thrive throughout their lives.
