Short info

I am a trained psychologist from the University of Bergen (2007) and completed a PhD on recovery in bipolar disorder (2013).

I am interested in how people experience growth and development, and how these processes are shaped by the social context in which he or she is involved.
Research

As a professor, I research topics at the intersection of clinical and community psychology. I am especially interested in: 

  • How we can understand mental health and illness
  • How we can support people both within and outside the health care system
  • How we can build inclusive communities for everyone

My research spans the entire lifespan - from children and adolescents to adults and the elderly - and I have focused on a range of different life challenges and circumstances. However, my main focus has been on people with severe mental disorders and/or substance use problems. I work with mixed research methods, including qualitative, participatory, and action research approaches.

I am also employed as a Researcher at Førde Health Trust: https://helseforsking.no/marius-veseth/

  • PRPSYK301A - Professional Preparation 1: Mental Health, Treatment, and Ethics
  • PRPSYKMET1 - Qualitative Methods as the Basis for Psychological Science
