Alberto Stefana studies how psychotherapy actually works in practice, focusing on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client, and on developing and validating measurement tools (questionnaires and rating scales) used to assess psychotherapy sessions, personality disorders, and risk for conditions like psychosis and bipolar disorder. His work also examines how therapy delivered in person compares with video or phone sessions, and includes clinical topics such as early detection of psychosis and mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
