Inês Trindade, PhD is a Clinical Psychologist and Research Fellow at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Her main research interest is in contextual behavioral and contemplative approaches (e.g., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, compassion-based therapies) applied to chronic illness contexts. She studies the efficacy of such interventions (face-to-face or digitally delivered) on mental health and physiological markers in diverse populations of chronically ill patients (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, chronic pain).
Despite significant advances in the field of psychology due to increased research … the usual care of people with chronic medical conditions still often neglects the psychological issues associated with the physical dimension of the disease.
