While my strengths lie in working from a
psychoanalytic perspective, I have unique training in complementary and alternative medicine for mental health,
feminist theory in counseling, and behavioral medicine.
Dr. McWilliams specializes in
psychoanalytic psychotherapy and supervision; the relationship between diagnosis and treatment; alternatives to DSM and ICD diagnostic conventions; integration of
feminist theory and
psychoanalytic knowledge; the application of
psychoanalytic understanding to the problems of diverse clinical populations; altruism; narcissism; and trauma and dissociative disorders.
