Associate Professor Adele Marais
I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health at the University of Cape Town. My clinical and research interests include: the intersection of IPV and HIV, and its impact on medical care engagement and mental health; narrative research into intimate partner violence (IPV); and addressing IPV in key populations, including young adults, pregnant women and women with chronic illness. I offer teaching and training to a range of medical and mental health professionals in the screening and management of IPV in health care settings. I offer clinical psychological services to the following GSH clinics/wards: the G22-Neuropsychiatry in-patient ward, the HIV Neuropsychiatry service, the G4 adolescent psychiatry clinic, and the multi-disciplinary Gender Dysphoria clinic. I am currently the chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health’s Research Committee.
