I'm Full Professor of Psychology at the University de Valparaíso School of Psychology (Faculty of Social Sciences), Chile.
Currently, I teach philosophical foundations of contemporary psychology and conduct research on different conceptual and empirical issues arising from the study of psychiatric conditions. My main focus is on the debates surrounding the etiology of psychotic delusions, the unity of consciousness in pre and psychotic states, the structure of self-awareness, the adaptiveness of delusions, and the notion of attribution of mental agency.
I hold a licentiate in psychology and a professional degree as psychologist. I also studied a postgraduate diploma in attachment studies (PUCV-Chile), a Master in Research in Philosophy, and a PhD in Philosophy (Manchester-UK).
My PhD dissertation (supervised by Joel Smith and Tim Bayne at the University of Manchester Philosophy department) examined a number of philosophical issues surrounding the occurrence of delusions of thought insertion, a key symptom of psychosis.
