Dr. Maria Campo-Redondo

 

I have been professor at UAEU since 2018. I am Emeritus Professor at the University of Zulia, where I developed my career since 1989. During my academic life, I have directed more than 20 master's and doctoral students. My research interests focus on the application of evidence-based psychodynamic concepts to the understanding and treatment of human behavior in populations with emotional trauma, psychological abuse and neglect, as well as in patients with anxiety, depression and PTSD. Part of my research has focused on the application of experiential and reflective practice processes, such as film and dream narrative analysis, in the teaching of clinical psychology.

Psychology is my passion and my student the inspiration.” The more human we become, the more humane we will be able to help our patients with mental suffering. Compassion is related to my inner self. Psychology is the rational expression of my desire to understand and help human beings.

I obtained a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Eastern Michigan University (USA), as well as a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a PhD from the University of Zulia (Venezuela); I have been a six times awardee of the prestigious award, “Faculty Enrichment/Research Program” supported the Canadian Government. I also completed advanced postgraduate training in individual and family psychotherapy at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute (USA) and Wayne State University (USA). I have a psychologist license and a psychotherapist certification, endorsed by the World Council for Psychotherapy.
