dr. M.C.S. (Muirne) Paap

In December 2018, I was awarded a personal grant  (€800 000; type FRIPRO) by the Research Council of Norway for the project  "Supporting specialized psychiatric care in remote areas: A computer adaptive diagnostic interview for personality pathology". This project has now been succesfully concluded.

The goal of this project was to develop an adaptive instrument for assessing personality disorders. Members of the project group were: Aleksander Heltne (PhD student), Dr Niek Frans (postdoc), Dr Benjamin Hummelen, Dr Sara Germans Selvik, Prof. Johan Braeken, Prof. Bernard Veldkamp, and myself as project leader.

I am the main PhD supervisor for Aleksander Heltne (Oslo University Hospital, University of Oslo) and co-supervisor for Guido Williams (Leiden University). I was co-supervisor for dr. Sabrina Soe-Agnie (Radboud University Nijmegen), and dr. Marleen Wessels (University of Groningen) who have succesfully defended their theses.
