Are you interested in paricipating to further research? A team of therapists and researchers from the University of Vienna, Austria and the Sigmund Freud University, also in Vienna, is currently doing a research programme on the topic. Participation would include filling out a few more questionnaires and a telephone/skype/zoom interview in which we would like to talk to you about your experiences with saying names. Of course as with any form of research, if you agreed to participate now you can still decide to stop being part of the study at any time without giving a reason. *
A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
