He has published over 275 refereed articles and book chapters, authored 9 books, and serves on several editorial boards, as well as Editor of one of the American Psychological Association’s prestigious clinical journals. In addition, he has been the recipient of grants from multiple federal agencies.

His role as a mentor and role model to students and young faculty has made a significant difference in the careers of aspiring researchers in the substance abuse field. Sobell has received several awards honoring his accomplishments, and is currently serving as President of the Society of Clinical Psychology of the American Psychological Association.
