My professional interest is mainly centered on the application of phenomenology in the practical work of psychotherapy and psychotherapy research. It works with an open approach to what appears to the subject involved and seems to be essential for them. This implies qualitative research methods which supersede quantitative data thanks to more possibilities of interpretation and gaining specific, personalized information. Apart of this the theme of what consists our existence, its fundamental dimensions and processes is in the center of my interest. From hence derives my interest in personality disorders, also seen from an existential perspective.
