ASSOCIATES
Gerald Haslinger
Gerald is a psychologist and mental health training specialist based in Bowral, Southern Highlands. Through his psychology practice he works with individuals experiencing a range of mental health issues, specialising in supporting recovery from trauma, working with men and is currently working towards accreditation as a Schema Therapist. Gerald delivers mental health training widely within the community, health and corporate sectors, educating Australians about their mental health, empowering them to seek help and to help others do the same.
In 2020, Gerald will be embarking on PdD research in an area he is passionate about - early intervention with parents. This research will involve the delivery of an adapted schema therapy based parenting program, Good Enough Parenting (GEP), to pregnant women and their partners with the hope that this will encourage a consideration of their own parenting experiences growing up and how these shaped their current views on parenting. This is an evidence based parenting program and participants will be sought in 2020 and 2021 for a longitudinal study investigating the impact of such a program on parenting beliefs, practices and child behaviour.
