Biography

Dorte Mølgaard Christiansen holds an MSc in Psychology and a PhD, serving as an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, specifically within the National Center of Psychotraumatology. Her primary research interests lie in psychotraumatology and the nuances of sex and gender differences, particularly as they relate to PTSD, anxiety, depression, and various mental disorders. She investigates how sex and gender can significantly impact the risk, development, expression, and treatment of these disorders. Her work focuses on understanding the moderating effects of sex and gender on symptom development and the intricate interplay of physiological, endocrinological, and psychological responses during traumatic events. Furthermore, her research encompasses various types of trauma, including sexual, reproductive, and refugee trauma, as well as the responses of primary and secondary victims. Dorte emphasizes the need for deeper insights into sex and gender differences to enhance the identification, prevention, and treatment of mental health disorders, thereby improving the quality of life for both men and women.
