Clark has over 25 years of experience conducting research on communal relationships, which are relationships in which people benefit one another in response to needs, as those needs arise, and with no expectation of repayment. Her research suggests that there is clear evidence that the capacity to create and maintain communal relationships is critical for psychological and physiological well-being.
