Dr. Horton-Deutsch is a full-time tenure track faculty member. She currently serves as the Director of the Adult Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist Program in the Department of Environments for Health. She teaches four courses in this program including psychiatric assessment, theory and intervention, and two clinical practicums. Dr. Horton-Deutsch conducts educational research that focuses on reflective learning. Other research interests focus on decision-making, reflective practice, and mindfulness-based therapeutic interventions. She also works part-time in an interdisciplinary and collaborative private practice, Mind and Body Matters, LLC, which integrates mindfulness-based approaches into mental health and psychiatric care. The practice provides individual and group treatment, educational programs, and facilitates retreats. Mindfulness-based practices are an extension of reflective practice in that they require presence in everyday experience, and lead the mind back from theories, attitudes and abstractions to the experience itself.
