Psychotherapy researcher focused on how therapists can personalize evidence-based treatments — adapting flexibly to individual clients without sacrificing rigor or outcomes.
Dr. James Boswell is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University at Albany (SUNY). His research program sits at the intersection of psychotherapy process and outcome, focusing on how therapists can adapt and individualize evidence-based treatments in ways that improve outcomes rather than compromise fidelity. He is particularly interested in therapist competence, training, and the integration of routine outcome monitoring and feedback into clinical practice.
Dr. Boswell has conducted large-scale psychotherapy process studies and contributed to the development of frameworks for training therapists to be more flexible and patient-responsive — especially within cognitive-behavioral and transdiagnostic treatment approaches. He has published extensively in leading psychotherapy journals and is committed to helping clinicians apply research findings in real-world settings. His work bridges common factors and specific treatment models, asking how both sets of variables interact to produce the outcomes that matter most to clients.
