Profile
Biography
Dr Greta Kaluzeviciute is an Honorary Lecturer at the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex, where she completed her PhD in 2021 and MA in 2016. She is a psychoanalytically oriented researcher working at the intersection of clinical psychological sciences and epistemology/philosophy of science. Her work critically questions the processes through which researchers and practitioners arrive at their knowledge claims, particularly those concerning the lived experiences of patients in clinical settings. Since 2022, she has been serving as Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) and Senior Research Officer at Vilnius University, Institute of Psychology, Department of Clinical Psychology, where she teaches modules on creativity in clinical psychology, qualitative research methods, and personality development. In addition, Dr Kaluzeviciute works as an Associate Lecturer at the University of Derby where she teaches modules in psychotherapy and counselling and conducts research supervision in nursing programmes. She is also a member of the Lithuanian Society for Psychoanalysts as well as a lecturer in their psychoanalytic psychotherapy programme. Dr Kaluzeviciute's research interests focus on the psychoanalytic clinic and its epistemological foundations, qualitative research methodologies, and, in particular, their position within the historical discourse of psychology. She also has active interests in related areas, including the case study method in psychotherapy, the classification of psychopathology and lived experiences of psychological suffering and distress. Dr Kaluzeviciute's PhD project investigated knowledge generation methods in the field of psychotherapy, and considered the current challenges that stem from applying large-scale findings onto individual patients. It re-considered the significance of the case study method by developing epistemological guidelines for case study research, addressing the unique style of thinking in cases, and providing a novel content evaluation tool that can aid researchers in assessing the quality and significance of case study data. Dr Kaluzeviciute is a contributing researcher on The Single Case Archive, a member of the Lithuanian Psychological Association (LPA), and a European chapter member of the Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR).
