Dr. Eubanks has developed behavioral coding systems for identifying ruptures in session recordings, conducted psychotherapy process research across multiple treatment approaches, and led international workshops training clinicians in rupture recognition and repair. She is co-author of influential work on therapeutic alliance and has collaborated with leading researchers in the field.
