Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology, Western Sydney University
Janet Conti an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology in the School of Psychology, a clinical psychologist, AHPRA endorsed supervisor, and dietitian. She is also a credentialled psychologist with the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Eating Disorders.
Janet’s clinical experience informs her research that prioritises giving voice to peoples’ experiences of anorexia nervosa (AN) and other Eating Disorders (EDs) and their experience of its treatment. She has contributed to pedagogical shifts in Western Sydney University’s Master of Clinical Psychology and Master of Professional Psychology programs to increase students’ skills development across a range of therapeutic interventions; to increase awareness and sensitivity to cultural and individual diversity in ways that optimise client voice and appropriate response; and to engage in reflective practice early in the training to ensure an active participation in their professional development. Her teaching pedagogy is fundamentally based on respect and engaged, value-based experiential classroom learning that invites reflective practice in the building of professional identity.
Janet’s research is focused on giving voice to the person/family touched by Eating Disorders (ED) and its treatment. Her research demonstrates and advocates for the prioritisation of the person/family’s voice to inform therapeutic interventions and for clinicians to develop skills in tailoring treatments to the person/family. She has a particular interest in qualitative research, including critical discusive approaches.
