About Carolyn Cutrona

Carolyn Cutrona's research interests include coping with stress, social support, close relationships, health psychology and marital relationships. She holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles. Carolyn Cutrona and Daniel Russell, with a multi-million dollar grant from the federal government, are conducting a large-scale longitudinal study of vulnerability and resilience among economically stressed parents who are striving to raise their children in rural settings. The mental health of parents is critically important because distressed parents and those suffering from psychiatric disorders show significant impairment in parenting functions which, in turn, renders their children vulnerable to disorder.
