Edward Callus

PhD. Clinical psychologist and Gestalt psychotherapist, certified in EMDR.

I am a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist in Milan, where I have lived since 2001. I teach clinical psychology at the University of Milan and I direct the clinical psychology service of a research hospital, but the work I like most, and have never stopped doing, is sitting in a room with one person, or two, and helping them work something out. I see patients in English or in Italian.

Being a therapist is not the part of my job I fit in around the rest. It is the part the rest is built around.

From the clinic to the literature

Two published clinical case studies

Most of what a psychotherapist does never leaves the room, and that is as it should be. Twice I have written the work up in full, following the CARE guidelines for case reports, which require the patient's informed consent, and had it peer reviewed, so that other clinicians can see exactly what was done and repeat it. Both are on the Research page.
