Alice Carter PhD is a Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in Clinical Psychology in the Psychology Department at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Trained as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Carter’s work focuses on young children’s development in the context of family relationships, with an emphasis on the early identification of psychopathology and factors that place children at risk for difficulties in social and emotional development. A former fellow of Zero to Three, Dr. Carter is an author or co-author of over 150 articles and chapters, the co-author of the Handbook of Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Mental Health Assessment with Rebecca Del Carmen, Ph.D., and the co-author of the Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (ITSEA) and the Brief Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (BITSEA) with Margaret Briggs-Gowan, Ph.D. Her primary research interests include: 1) early identification and evaluation of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers experiencing and/or at risk for later psychopathology; 2) improving early identification, evaluation, and treatment of infants and toddlers with autism spectrum disorders; 3) evaluating interventions that reduce early onset psychopathology and parenting stress and enhance child competencies and parenting efficacy; and 4) understanding reciprocal relations between young children’s developmental trajectories and trajectories of family functioning. With respect to teaching and training, she has taught both graduate and undergraduate students at Yale University and the University of Massachusetts Boston. She has also conducted trainings on assessment of infant mental health and early detection of autism spectrum disorders nationally and internationally.
