Profiel
I work in the group on personality and psychodiagnostics of clinical psychology. I have a background in quantitative approaches and epidemiological research. In this line of research I have contributed to dimensional models of psychopathology and informant discrepancies, network conceptualizations, research on demoralization and treatment utility of clinical assessment. In the past decade I have developed an ever increasing interest in psychoanalysis, philosophy and qualitative research and I am very motivated to continue this line of research.
