Research - Inge Gnatt
Research is a central aspect of my work and a key motivation behind my pursuit of a PhD. My research spans various areas of clinical psychology, with a particular focus on eating disorders and the psychological impact of trauma exposure. I have presented my research in Australia, the United States of America, Italy and Germany.
I am deeply committed to understanding the lived and living experiences of individuals, and to integrating these perspectives into both research and clinical practice. I co-founded and actively co-lead the Integrative Clinical Psychology Lab at Swinburne University of Technology with Professor Maja Nedeljkovic, and am a member of the Scientific Work in Anorexia Nervosa & Other Eating Disorders (SWAN) Research Group led by A/Professor Andrea Phillipou
