Background and academic interests
Siv Vea Grønneberg is a doctoral student at the University of Oslo, Department of Health and Society in collaboration with Østfold University College, Department of Health and Welfare. She has a master's degree in family therapy from Oslo Metropolitan University, a bachelor's degree in nursing and degrees in pedagogy and administration from Østfold University College. She is particularly interested in communication and relationships and how languages and norms in society create reality for people. She has worked for several years in high school to facilitate training for young people who experience struggles related to behavioral diagnoses or experience anxiety and depression. This has created a special interest in exploring how children and young people experience receiving and living with such a diagnosis, and how it affects self-understanding. In the Ph. D - project "How am I me?" a central theme is how children and adolescents experience receiving and living with ADHD.
