About me

Hi, I’m Isabel Grünenwald. I did my Bachelor and Master program in psychology at Goethe University in Frankfurt a.M. and finished my Master with focus on Clinical Psychology and Work and Organizational Psychology in August 2020. I worked as a student assistant in the department of Social Psychology from 2017 to 2020. I enjoyed researching in the field of Social Psychology a lot and always felt very comfortable in the team, which is why I decided to do my PhD in this department after my Master. However, I also pursue a career as a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist (for adults), which is why I’m doing my apprenticeship to become a psychotherapist parallel to my PhD. I can ideally combine my clinical and my social psychological interests with my dissertation topic: “The role of social identification and stress-mindset for coping and well-being of children of mentally ill parents”.
