Som professor forsker jeg på temaer i skjæringspunktet mellom klinisk psykologi og samfunnspsykologi. Jeg er spesielt interessert i tre brede områder: 

• Hvordan vi kan forstå psykisk helse og psykisk lidelse
• Hvordan vi kan støtte mennesker innenfor så vel som utenfor hjelpeapparatet
• Hvordan vi kan bygge inkluderende fellesskap for oss alle

Forskningen min spenner på tvers av hele livsløpet - fra barn og ungdom til voksne og eldre - og jeg har vært opptatt av en rekke ulike livsutfordringer og omstendigheter. Hovedfokuset har imidlertid vært knyttet opp mot folk med alvorlige psykiske lidelser og/eller rusproblemer. Jeg arbeider med blandede forskningsmetoder - både kvalitative, deltakende og gjennom aksjonsforskning.

Jeg er i tillegg ansatt som Forsker i Helse Førde: https://helseforsking.no/marius-veseth/

 

Jeg underviser og veileder på alle nivå innenfor klinisk psykologi og samfunnspsykologi. På profesjonsstudiet i psykologi er undervisningen min særlig sentrert rundt tre emner, der jeg er emneansvarlig for førstnevnte kurs:

• PRPSYK301A - Profesjonsforberedelse 1 Psykisk helse, behandling og fagetikk
• PRPSYKMET1 - Kvalitativ metode som grunnlag for psykologisk kunnskap
• PRPSYK313 - Psykologisk behandling ved komplekse psykiske tilstandsbilder
