Education

Janine Plaisier graduated in Social Psychology and later also in Clinical Psychology, both at the University of Amsterdam. She has worked for the University of Amsterdam, the University of Dunedin (New Zealand), the Netherlands Scientific Research and Documentation Centre, and the Ministry of Security and Justice. For many years she leaded her own research organisation, which specialised in researching behaviour change of people. In addition, she was a member of the Netherlands’ Council for Criminal Law Application and Youth Protection. Gradually she started doing less research and became more active as a therapist, because this gives her satisfaction and meaning.
