Donald H. Baucom, Ph.D.

Distinguished Professor
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Chapel Hill, NC, United States

Donald H. Baucom is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Neuroscience at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Since he received his doctorate in clinical psychology in 1976, he has been actively involved in developing and evaluating couple-based interventions from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. This work has included focusing on interventions for relationally distressed couples, employing couple-based interventions for couples in which one partner has a psychological or medical problem, treating infidelity, and enhancing the relationships of happy couples. He has been a pioneer in developing and evaluating couple-based interventions for depression, anxiety/fear-based disorders, the focus of the current workshop (as well as eating disorders). In addition to his research in the couple’s area, he and colleagues have published three widely used books on cognitive-behavioral couple therapy for relationship distress and psychopathology. He also has been an active clinician in private practice with couples for about 50 years. He has held an Endowed Chair at the University of North Carolina for his research contributions to the field, and he has won several teaching awards. He also has received awards for his excellence in clinical supervision and mentoring doctoral students. He gives frequent workshops to professionals in the United States and various continents around the world.
