Research Interests
Dr. Murphy's research focuses on abuse and violence in intimate adult relationships. Example topics include the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral and motivational treatments for intimate partner abuse, the role of alcohol and drugs in partner abuse, and posttraumatic stress symptoms as both a consequence of abuse victimization and a contributing factor in abuse perpetration. Dr. Murphy directs the New Behaviors Program for partner violent men at the Domestic Violence Center of Howard County, Maryland, where he is actively involved in clinical training and supervision.
