MURAJ: In Focus - Your Relationships and COVID-19

Abstract

Beyond clinical work and teaching classes, Dr. Steven Harris has spent the past ten years researching couples on the brink of divorce. Nine months into the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Steven M. Harris met with the Minnesota Undergraduate Research & Academic Journal (MURAJ) to discuss the ways that his team’s research has advanced traditional marital therapy for couples contemplating divorce, the ways in which the coronavirus is changing the nature of our relationships, and how we can heal and strengthen these relationships in a time with so many new and unexpected challenges.
