Chiquit van Linden van den Heuvell

University Medical Center Groningen, Netherlands

Biography

Chiquit van Linden van den Heuvell works as a clinical psychologist at the University Medical Center Groningen, initially at the Department of Medical Psychology, beginning in 2003 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Special Dental Care. She is member of the Regional Disciplinary Board for Health Care Psychologists in Groningen. Her psychotherapeutic activities concern patients with dental anxiety, dental gagging and medically unexplained symptoms. Research activities are mainly directed at Quality of Life in Head and Neck Oncology, with special focus on qualitative research into ethical and existential aspects of decision making in this field. In order to stimulate a more meaningfully discussion with patients about the question “Will it be worth it?”, she started interviewing treated patients and next of kin of deceased patients, asking them: “Has it been worth it?”. Another field of research interest concerns the development of a measurement instrument for dental gagging.
