LEG PSYKOLOG, FIL DR I PSYKOLOGI
MARIA SANDGREN
Throughout my career I have focused on three key areas of psychology: private practice, research and teaching. Having worked with such different disciplines has given me a broad knowledge base as well as a deeper understanding of people (individuals, groups and our role in society).
I started conducting research at Uppsala University directly after graduation (reg. Psychologist) and immediately opened my own private practice. I later received my PhD in Psychology from Stockholm University.
I initially started working with psychodynamic therapy and have also since then included areas such as emotion, cognition , social psychology and interpersonal relationships in my therapeutic work. I am acutely aware that people are a part of their social environment, which influences many parts of their lives, including relationships, feelings, attitudes and actions.
Senare har jag utbildat mig inom affektfokuserad terapi och tillämpar en varmare form av ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Therapy). Fördelen med affektfokuserad terapi är att terapin uppmärksammar emotioner och relationer på ett annat sätt än sedvanlig PDT-terapi och stärker förändringsprocesser.
