Bio:
Dr. Crawford's areas of expertise include clinical psychology, personality, and cross-cultural psychology. She is in private practice in Oakland, working extensively with minority clients. Her clinical work includes psychoanalytic psychotherapy, assessments, supervision, and consultation. She has also worked in educational psychology. Her teaching, clinical and research experience spans almost three decades. She has taught university courses in a variety of clinical subjects, including psychoanalysis, especially on technique and dreams, and in psychological anthropology. Her theoretical perspectives include an integration of humanistic psychology, psychological anthropology and psychoanalytic thought and practice.
Dr. Crawford lived for twenty years in the Basque Country in Spain, and taught at the University of the Basque Country. While there she lead a research team studying personality, ethnic identity and political attitudes. One aspect of the research addressed attitudes towards political violence. Previous research involved the analysis of a series of biographies of Basque women, and a study of personality and socialization practices of Basque mothers. This cross-cultural research as well as her experience as a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst have had a significant impact on her view of people, and how their personality and attitudes can be expected to affect their behavior and their trajectory while in psychotherapy. Dr. Crawford brings to Saybrook her humanistic perspective along with a strong commitment to training students for a practice of psychology that is culturally sensitive and appropriate, and that maximizes the human potential for personal growth and realization.
