Summary
Are you interested in how mental health, moral experiences, and brain function are connected? Join our exciting PhD project and develop advanced skills in neuroimaging and clinical psychology. This PhD investigates the role of moral injury in eating disorders (EDs) by examining neurocognitive mechanisms through fMRI, qualitative interviews and psychometric assessment. It aims to identify distinct brain activation patterns linked to morally injurious experiences and explore how these mechanisms operate in individuals with EDs. The project will build a framework to guide treatment and show how moral injury may be a hidden risk in EDs, helping improve care.
