Johanna Lynch
Dr Johanna Lynch PhD MBBS FRACGP FASPM Grad Cert (Grief and Loss) is President of the Australian Society for Psychological Medicine, and clinical advisor to a domestic violence team. She is a Senior Lecturer in the University of Queensland School of Medicine where she teaches whole person care and vulnerability in medicine, and researches ‘sense of safety’ as a whole person, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach to distress. She has spent the last 15 years of her 25 year career as a GP caring for adults who are survivors of childhood trauma and neglect. This practical clinical work of being with those in our community who are often marginalised, misunderstood, and categorised with multiple mental health diagnoses has led her to search ways to hone and protect the generalist approach to the whole person. Her PhD is now a book: A Whole Person Approach to Wellbeing: Building Sense of Safety (2021).
