Research Focus Areas

As part of my doctoral research project under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Annette M. Klein, I investigate relational processes in families with young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). My research focuses on associations between various parental relational capacities, particularly parental representations, parental reflective functioning (mentalization), and emotional availability. 

Furthermore, I examine how these parental capacities relate to developmental outcomes in children with ASD, including internalizing and externalizing symptoms, as well as social and emotional developmental processes.
