In Elizabeth’s other “day job” she is a professor and mentor to graduate students in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Auburn University.
All of the PhD students work on a dissertation while in the Parent-Child Lab and this project was just too good not to share! Here is what Elizabeth has to say on the project…
We started this project before the pandemic for Allison Cotter’s dissertation and now Dr. Allison Hatley-Cotter has published this beautiful manuscript in collaboration with Georgette Saad (our wonderful collaborator, fellow PCITer, and BIPOC PCIT scholarship recipient!).

By the time she finished the project, Allison was done with her PhD and on to bigger and better things. Congrats go to Allison on her new job as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and Nationwide Children’s Hospital – where she is sure to provide PCIT and train colleagues and students as a PCIT Within Agency Trainer (WATer).
Don’t you just love to hear when a former trainee graduates and gets her dream “grown up” job? Allison is front, center, and in blue in the photo below (we *may* have been taking a side trip to the French Quarter after a PCIT training in this photo… but I can neither confirm nor deny that here…)
We are so grateful for the opportunity to partner with Georgette and her team as they provide PCIT to Spanish speaking families in the DC area (a demographic that is very near and dear to my heart). I learned a ton as we worked on the project and am in awe of this new generation of scholars. The future for PCIT is very bright, indeed.
I am a very proud mentor right about now : )
