DEAN’S LETTER

CHAIR’S LETTER

October 15, 2012 Dr. Linda Hoover, Dean College of Human Sciences Texas Tech University Dear Dean Hoover,

I am writing in support of Dr. Douglas Smith’s application for promotion to the rank of associate professor with tenure in my department. My recommendation is in concert with the unanimous affirmative vote of the tenured faculty in the former Department of Applied and Professional Studies.

Dr. Smith earned his doctorate in family studies and human services with a specialization in marriage and family therapy from Kansas State University in 2006. Dr. Smith became a full-time tenure track faculty member in August 2007 with a 75% teaching/ 25% research appointment following a one year visiting assistant professor position at Antioch University. His third-year review was successful with satisfactory progress toward promotion and tenure.

His research specialization is in the areas of intimate partner violence and traumatic stress in couple relationships. Dr. Smith’s vita presents 13 peer reviewed articles published, 10 of which have been published since 2007. Two of his published articles were first authored and the others were co- authored. Four national conference presentations and 18 posters have been presented since 2007. More than one external reviewer commented that his work on intimate partner violence is making a difference in the field through setting the stage for research and practice.

Dr. Smith submitted five external grant proposals and was successful in securing external funding for two of them from the Hogg Foundation and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. This is sufficient to show external interest in his research. The Hogg Foundation grant is noteworthy in that he is the only known grantee from this foundation in the history of the College of Human Sciences. Dr. Smith co-led a team to revitalize research using data collected from clients of the Texas Tech Family Therapy Clinic, a resource which will continue to provide data for faculty and graduate students to analyze and publish. Based on this track record, we have every reason to expect that Dr. Smith’s research and grant funding will continue at a reasonable pace to provide a clear contribution to his profession.

It should be noted that Dr. Smith has been extensively involved in guiding student research through student dissertation and thesis committees. Since 2007, he served on 14 doctoral committees, chairing half of them. He also chaired one thesis committee and the student recently earned 2nd place in the TTU Outstanding Thesis Award in Social Sciences.

Chair’s Letter for Dr. Douglas Smith 2

Dr. Smith’s external reviewers commented favorably on his collaborations with other faculty researchers and graduate students. One reviewer noted: “I also like how he has begun to publish and present with his doctoral students which to me is a very positive sign of how he has forged strong mentoring relationships with his students and has helped to prepare them for their own faculty careers.”

Regarding teaching, his course evaluations are consistently above four on a five-point scale. Peer evaluations conducted by Drs. Reed, Boylan, and Sharp of the College of Human Sciences further revealed evidence of effective teaching. In 2011, Dr. Smith received the Hemphill-Wells New Professor Excellence in Teaching Award, further highlighting his value as a clinical educator in the CFAS department.

Dr. Smith is performing at the level of expectations for a junior faculty member in terms of service. He participates in a positive manner in service capacities for the department, college, and his profession. Evidence of his successful work in this area is his service as a student organization faculty advisor for two years. He has chaired four marriage and family therapy faculty search committees and has been on the Board of Directors for Women’s Protective Services in Lubbock for the past four years. Because of his leadership skills and commitment to his program, Dr. Smith has recently assumed the important role of director of the Texas Tech marriage and family therapy program.

In summary, I believe that Dr. Douglas Smith meets or exceeds all of the expectations for promotion and tenure at Texas Tech. He is accomplished, productive, collegial and a valuable member of our department. I strongly endorse the tenured faculty’s unanimous affirmative recommendation for his tenure and promotion to associate professor.

Sincerely,

Dorothy B. Durband, Ph.D. Department Chair and Professor

TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS Appendix includes: Raw Student Evaluations, Peer Teaching Effectiveness Evaluations, MFT Practicum Evaluations, IS 1100 Course Evaluations, Examples of Course Syllabi, Core MFT Practicum Syllabus, Hemphill Wells New Professor Excellence in Teaching Award supporting materials. TEACHING NARRATIVE

I have been fortunate to have had opportunities to teach a variety of courses to both

undergraduates and graduate students in several different institutional settings. These

experiences have reinforced my love of teaching and my belief “teaching” is a value that is

reflected not just in the traditional classroom setting but through my research, service, and

program administrative functions.

Since joining the faculty of the Texas Tech University Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT)

Program I have been the instructor for five traditional graduate level courses, have regularly

taught the Tech Transitions/Raider Ready (IS 1100) course for incoming undergraduate students,

and have served as the chair or as a member on 22 dissertation/thesis committees.

Family Systems (MFT 5322) is offered during the first semester of our master’s degree plan.

Through this course, I introduce new graduate students to systems theories and Family Systems

Theory, which, for most students, represent an entirely new way of organizing scientific inquiry

and conceptualizing the interaction of variables in complex, non-linear systems. I have

incorporated foundational literature on systems theory as well as the original writings of several

of the developers of foundational MFT models of clinical intervention.

Family Systems II (MFT 6322) is a doctoral level research methods course designed to examine

the complexities of research with family systems. I have worked hard to develop course activities

and assignments that reflect two of the primary goals of the course, passing the methods portion

of their qualifying exams and helping students to develop research proposals that form the basis

of their dissertation research. I believe the effectiveness of the course is demonstrated by the high

rate of success our doctoral student have had with both endeavors.

Practicum in MFT (MFT 6395) is the core component of clinical training for both our master’s

and doctoral students. The ability to conduct live supervision of therapists in training, through

the use of clinic rooms equipped with one-way mirrors and video recording equipment is a


21

hallmark of MFT training and one of the features of MFT that distinguishes the field from other

similar disciplines. Practicum instruction is highly demanding. I meet for a regularly scheduled

four-hour class time in the TTU clinic. In addition, I meet individually with each student

therapist for at least one hour of individual supervision each week. I must also be available to

respond to clinical emergencies and provide support to graduate student therapists as they work

with clients to resolve a wide variety of challenging clinical problems. Several of the

activities/assessments I have developed for my practicum course, including formal audits of case

files and a format for tracking cases in weekly supervision meetings, have been widely adopted

by the program.

Supervision of MFT (MFT 6396) is designed to provide doctoral students with the knowledge

necessary to begin the process of becoming clinical supervisors. The course meets the classroom

requirement for the AAMFT Approved Supervisor designation. Since assuming responsibility

for this course, I have completely redesigned the course to provide students a solid grounding in

the foundational literature on supervision and to challenge them to use both inductive and

deductive methods to develop their own theoretically guided models of supervision.

Practicum in Supervision of MFT (MFT 6397) is analogous to clinical practicum, except the

focus is on the practical integration of clinical skills necessary for effective supervision of

clinicians. I have played an instrumental role in effecting changes to how the program trains

doctoral students as supervisors. Specifically, I developed a core practicum syllabus that

integrates clinical practicum and practicum of supervision so that doctoral students’ clinical

training is distinguished from that of master’s students by an increased focus on and experience

with clinical supervision. These changes to our educational focus will better prepare doctoral

students for administrative positions in clinical settings and academic positions in MFT.

While I believe I must always strive to grow and improve as an instructor, I am proud of the fact

that I have consistently received excellent teaching evaluations from both students and peer

evaluators. I was particularly humbled by the letters I received in support of my nomination for

the Hemphill Wells New Professor Excellence in Teaching Award. I also believe that my varied

experience as a clinician allows me to provide students with a valuable real world perspective

and is one of the reasons students often seek me out for consultation and have consistently

offered positive feedback on traditional student evaluations and program evaluations of


22

practicum. Knowing that I have made a lasting impression on students that are now pursuing

their own professional goals is perhaps the greatest compliment to which I can aspire.

Overall, my teaching philosophy is simple. I believe it is my responsibility to foster an

educational atmosphere that balances support and challenge so that students can understand and

integrate existing knowledge, develop the skills to critically evaluate information, and produce

new knowledge. In service of this philosophy, I work to continually challenge myself to be

thoughtful about whether my course design reflects the content I think is important for students

to understand, whether assignments serve to help students integrate that content, and whether the

choice of assessment is consistent with the identified learning outcomes. I value my teaching role

and I am excited to be a part of a brand new department as we develop our existing curriculum

and work to develop new degree programs.

RESEARCH NARRATIVE My interest in research began during my master’s degree studies. I was afforded the opportunity

to work with internationally recognized experts on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) as they

developed a clinical intervention model for domestic violence with couples and later as a

research associate conducting a meta-analysis of risk factors for IPV. After completing my

master’s degree, I worked for several years as a family therapist. During this time, I was struck

by the number of family systems affected by traumatic experiences including, but not limited to,

IPV. As a doctoral student, my research interests focused on understanding trauma from a

systemic perspective. As I began my academic career, these two related areas of interest merged.

My current research focus is on understanding the intersection of IPV and trauma related

symptoms to develop better systemic interventions for IPV. Specifically, I am fascinated by the

role of safety in couple systems. Safety refers to both the practical considerations required to

maintain physical safety and the broader systemic perceptions of safety and how they interact

with trauma related symptoms and clinical outcome.

I used faculty seed grant money to conduct a study to develop a measure (Self Assessment of

Future Events Scale or SAFE) of safety in couple relationships. The measure is unique in that it

assesses respondents’ perceptions of safety as opposed to the occurrence of discrete behaviors.

The measure has been used in several studies published by faculty and graduate students. It has

also been adopted for use in studies being conducted at other universities.

I recently received a Hogg Foundation grant to study a brief clinical intervention for IPV in

couples at the TTU Family Therapy Clinic. The goal of the study is to develop a standardized

intervention protocol that can be combined with regular treatment strategies to reduce IPV and

improve mental health outcomes. Data from the study will be used to support an application for a

National Institutes of Health R03 grant through the National Institute of Mental Health Division

of Services and Intervention Research during the Spring 2013 semester.

Along with the pursuit of federal funding, it is my goal as a researcher and as the program

director of the Marriage and Family Therapy program to increase the utilization of the TTU

Family Therapy Clinic as a research laboratory. The clinic is a unique resource in its potential to

combine the teaching, research, and service mission of the university. During my first semester

at TTU, along with Dr. Jason Whiting, I reorganized the data collection occurring in the Family

Therapy Clinic. The clinic database now contains data on over 1300 individuals, has supported

student and faculty scholarly publications/presentation, student dissertations/thesis, the current

Hogg Foundation Grant, and will be the primary site for federally funded intervention studies.

Maximizing the clinics potential for clinical training, research, and service will provide a rich

opportunity for graduate students and faculty to conduct applied research with real world

benefits.

Going forward, my program of research will continue to focus on the systemic understanding

and treatment of IPV. My next step is to secure federal funding to expand on the Hogg

Foundation grant and explore clinical intervention of IPV on a larger scale that includes greater

controls of research variables, follow-up data, and partnerships with other MFT university

training programs. Beyond that, I intend to explore how perceptions of safety influence systemic

patterns of behavior in couples and whether systemic modeling techniques can provide an

alternate statistical method for understanding and intervening in behavioral patterns related to

violence in couples.

SERVICE Appendix includes: Family Therapy Magazine interview.

SERVICE NARRATIVE

I joined the faculty of TTU at a time of great transition in the MFT program. The two founding

faculty members left after I was hired and before I arrived at TTU in the fall of 2007. Additional

faculty transitions quickly followed, ultimately resulting in a program with one tenured faculty

and four junior faculty (all hired within four years of each other). The result was that I had to

step into my faculty role with little mentoring and function like a senior faculty member right

from the beginning. I did this by taking on the role of search committee chair for four faculty

searches, assuming responsibility for a large number of dissertation committees, and never

saying no to a committee assignment. Most recently, I agreed to assume the role of program

director for the MFT program. The MFT program director position is a challenging and time

consuming job due to the large size of the MFT graduate program and the complexities inherent

in integrating traditional academic pursuits and active clinical training.

By its very nature, Marriage and Family Therapy is a service-oriented field. I have worked as a

clinician in a variety of clinical settings, including homeless shelters, community mental health

agencies, and group homes for the seriously mentally ill. I currently provide mental health

consultation services to South Plains College, see a small number of clients in private practice,

and serve on the board of directors for Women’s Protective Services of Lubbock. These

experiences inform my belief that service should be embodied not just in our traditional service

activities, but that my teaching should prepare students to serve the community as clinicians and

researchers, that my service to the community improves my teaching, that my experiences in the

community inform my research, and that my clinical research should have readily apparent real

world benefits.

I believe that the profession of MFT is a unique and valuable addition to the clinical, academic,

and research landscape. Because I value the profession, I will continue to advocate for it and

work to give back through activities such as maintaining my clinical license and approved

supervisor designation, participating in the national conference, acting as a peer reviewer for

varied scholarly journals, and seeking out new opportunities to serve the profession.
