Schizophrenia and Self-disorder

Julie Nordgaard graduated from the University of Copenhagen, where she also received her Ph.D. in 2012. She works as an associate professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Copenhagen, and as a chief consultant at Mental Health Center Amager, Copenhagen.

Disorders within the schizophrenia spectrum have been of her special interest.

She teaches at an expert level in psychopathology and the psychiatric interview, both internationally and domestically. She is the author of more than 50 peer-reviewed papers published in such journals as Lancet Psychiatry, Nordic Journal of Psychiatry, Schizophrenia Research, Psychopathology. Other recent publications include The Psychiatric Interview for Differential Diagnosis (Springer, 2016) and Phenomenological Psychopathology and Quantitative Research (chapter in Oxford Handbook of Phenomenological Psychopathology, Oxford University Press, 2019). Dr. Nordgaard is co-PI on several ongoing international research projects.
