OverviewAI-generated summary
Joy R. Pemberton's research focuses on the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents experiencing trauma and behavioral challenges. She investigates the dissemination of evidence-based practices, particularly in parenting interventions and psychoeducational groups for caregivers of young children exposed to trauma. Her work has explored the adaptation and delivery of these treatments in various formats, including virtual platforms, especially in response to circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pemberton has contributed to studies examining policy changes and investments in support systems aimed at improving outcomes for children affected by family violence. Her publications also detail specific therapeutic techniques, such as drills within Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and evaluate the feasibility and satisfaction with virtual training for evidence-based child trauma treatments. Collaborating with researchers such as Karin L. Vanderzee, Glenn R. Mesman, and Sufna G.
