Dr. Carter is primarily interested in developing the field of school-based family counseling which focuses on preparing counselors to work with families and children in public agency settings such as schools and clinics. This approach addresses the fact that families can be the greatest positive influence on the academic and social development of children. The view is that this influence is maximized by actively involving parents in collaborating with teachers in the schools.
