Psychotherapy process researcher and personality disorder specialist studying what actually changes — and why — in the treatment of complex, chronic psychological difficulties.
Dr. Ueli Kramer is a Professor at the University of Lausanne and directs the University Institute of Psychotherapy. His research examines the mechanisms of psychotherapeutic change, with a particular focus on personality disorders and the processes that underlie treatment response in clients who present with complex, chronic difficulties. He is interested in how moment-to-moment experiences in therapy — emotional processing, self-reflection, interpersonal perception — translate into lasting change outside the consulting room.
