Anne Bryde Christensen serves as Assistant Professor at the University of Copenhagen, holding a combined position between the Department of Psychology and the Center for Eating and feeding Disorders Research (CEDaR). Her academic profile demonstrates substantial contributions to clinical psychology research with particular expertise in psychotherapy mechanisms and outcomes.
Her research program centers on group psychotherapy, therapeutic alliance dynamics, personalized treatment approaches, and therapist effects, with increasing focus on eating disorder interventions. Christensen's work bridges theoretical understanding with practical clinical applications, examining how factors like mentalization and emotion regulation influence treatment outcomes for patients with depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a methodologically rigorous research trajectory focused on improving psychotherapy assessment and delivery. Her work spans instrument validation (ODSIS, WSAS), development of core outcome sets for eating disorder trials, exploration of treatment readiness metrics, and examination of therapist-patient dynamics through discourse analysis. This research portfolio demonstrates consistent attention to both process and outcome variables in psychotherapy across multiple clinical populations.
Christensen completed her PhD in Psychiatry at the University of Copenhagen followed by postdoctoral work investigating group psychotherapy experiences for anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder. Her ongoing research maintains strong connections to Danish clinical practice while contributing to international discourse on evidence-based psychotherapy. Her position on the Psychology Study Board reflects her active role in academic governance and curriculum development within her department.
