G.R. Guðmundsdóttir

Hello, I'm Guðrún, a PhD candidate at the department of Clinical Psychological Science. I work in the Team Network group, which is part of the NSMD consortium (New Science of Mental Disorders). The main aim of this project is to gain more nuanced insight into how psychopathology is initiated and maintained - and how this varies across individuals - in the hope of improving the diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems. As such, we are advocating for a conceptualisation of psychopathology as complex symptom networks and assessing the utility of this approach both in research and clinical practice. My work focuses on mapping out individual networks of various transdiagnostic symptoms and related variables, exploring individual- and group differences in network profiles and how these networks relate to traditional diagnostic categories.
