Met slimkoppe in haar bloedlyn, was dit net \u2019n kwessie van tyd voordat Alberta \u201cBerte\u201d van der Watt van Paul Roux in die Oos-Vrystaat die kruin van akademie sou bereik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het Dinsdag (26 Maart) haar doktorsgraad in psigiatrie by die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se Maart-gradeplegtigheid verwerf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat haar prestasie besonders maak, is dat dit die Van der Watt-familie se oes van doktorsgrade op vier te staan gebring \u2013 nie iets wat \u2019n mens aldag te\u00ebkom nie. Beide haar ouers, Gideon en Ron\u00e9l, en haar suster, Lize-Mari\u00e9, het PhD\u2019s \u2013 Gideon in teologie, Ron\u00e9l in sielkunde en Lize-Mari\u00e9 in geskiedenis. Hulle is ook almal oud-Maties \u2013 Gideon en Ron\u00e9l het hul meestersgrade aan die US voltooi en hul PhD\u2019s aan die Universiteit van die Vrystaat verwerf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk voel baie trots om my familie se naam te kan hoog hou. Ek besef ook hoe ongelooflik gese\u00ebnd en bevoorreg ek was (en steeds is) om te kon studeer,\u201d s\u00ea Van der Watt, wat tans aan die US se departement psigiatrie verbonde is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het altyd grappenderwys van die \u2018Van der Watt PhD-siekte\u2019 gepraat en ges\u00ea ek gaan dit nie kry nie, maar nou ja, hier sit ons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van der Watt se ouers s\u00ea hulle is baie trots op hul dogter se prestasie \u2013 veral haar harde werk en deursettingsvermo\u00eb. Hulle het ook groot waardering vir haar studieleiers en die departement psigiatrie vir die geleenthede wat vir haar geskep is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Van der Watt was sy nooit onder enige druk om ook soos die res van haar gesin \u2019n doktorsgraad te verwerf nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is gese\u00ebnd met wonderlike ouers wat my toegelaat het om my eie pad te vind en my eie ding te doen. Hulle was altyd baie ondersteunend. My gesin het my ongelooflik baie ondersteun en raad gegee hoe om oor die hond se stert te kom, hoe om die politiek van akademie te hanteer en om aan te hou bid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van der Watt s\u00ea haar pad na die akademie was nie juis reguit nie. \u201cEk wou eintlik \u2019n Haute Couture-ontwerper word en het eers \u2019n drie-jaar-diploma (en een jaar internskap) in modeontwerp gedoen, asook kortkursusse en diplomas in onder meer geleentheids- en konferensiebestuur. Dinge het toe nie uitgewerk soos ek dit beplan het nie en ek is toe maar universiteit toe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cN\u00e1 my meerstersgraad in sielkunde het ek die akademie verlaat en my in projek- en konstruksiebestuur begewe. Maar die akademiese gogga het weer gebyt en ek het toe prof. Soraya Seedat van ons departement psigiatrie se navorsingsassistent geword, en die res is geskiedenis.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van der Watt het in haar navorsing gekyk na die emosionele uitwerking (spesifiek posttraumatiese stresversteuring) van verbrokkelde liefdesverhoudings op ontluikende volwassenes (emerging adults<\/em>). Ontluikende volwassenes is 18 tot 25 jaar oud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy s\u00ea navorsing toon dat hierdie skeidings redelik traumaties kan wees, wat simptome veroorsaak soortgelyk aan di\u00e9 wat n\u00e1 fisieke of seksuele aanranding gesien word. Die kenmerke van hierdie skeidings (byvoorbeeld spesifieke redes waarom die verhouding be\u00ebindig is) kan ontluikende volwassenes aan \u2019n groter risiko blootstel om trauma te ervaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie erkenning van die traumatiese aard van die ervarings wat hiermee gepaard gaan, kan individue help om ondersteuning te soek en hul geestelike welstand te verbeter. Die bevindinge dui daarop dat die gebruik van trauma-gefokusde behandelings ondersoek moet word as moontlike nuttige terapie om die posttraumatiese stres-simptome wat verband hou met verbrokkelde romantiese verhoudings, onder ontluikende volwassenes te takel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Van der Watt s\u00ea sy moes self verbrokkelde liefdeverhoudings verwerk en die kommentaar wat sy gekry het, het haar gereeld laat voel asof haar pyn nie geldig is nie en haar gevoelens niks beteken het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGevolglik is die seer, die breek in vertroue en die gevoel van nie goed genoeg wees nie, nooit werklik hanteer nie. Daar is maar net \u2019n pleister op die emosionele wond geplak. Op di\u00e9 manier ontwikkel mense \u2019n wantroue en \u2019n ongesonde gehegtheid (insecure attachment<\/em>) wat ander negatiewe gevolge het en toekomstige verhoudings kan belemmer. Ek het besef daar is so baie ander ontluikende volwassenes wat presies dieselfde deurmaak.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Van der Watt kan haar bevindinge ontluikende volwassenes help om ongesonde gehegtheid te voorkom, om die negatiewe sirkel van slegte verhoudings te stop, en meer respek vir hul gevoelens te toon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHulle is reeds onder soveel stres om hul pad te vind, \u2019n beroep te vind, \u2019n lewensmaat te vind. As dinge nie uitwerk nie, het hulle hulp nodig \u2013 die erkenning van hul gevoelens.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoewel sy reeds die kruin van akademiese sukses bereik het, wil Van der Watt nog \u2019n meestersgraad in kliniese sielkunde doen en ook kliniese werk en navorsing kombineer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk wil bitter graag \u2019n trauma-gehegtigheidsgeori\u00ebnteerde intervensie (trauma-attachment-oriented intervention<\/em>) ontwikkel vir ontluikende volwassenes wat sukkel om \u2019n liefdesteleurstelling te verwerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk dink spesifiek aan \u2019n tipe langdurige kombinasie van blootstellingsterapie en breuk-herstel (rupture repair<\/em>). Hiervoor het ek verdere onderrig, veral in terapie, nodig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Van der Watt beskryf haarself as \u2019n oop boek. \u201cMy gesig kon ook nog nooit iets wegsteek nie.\u201d Sy s\u00ea mense is soms verbaas as hulle hoor sy hou van die Duitse heavy metal<\/em>-groep Rammstein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Benewens haar betrokkenheid by navorsingsprojekte in die departement psigiatrie is Van der Watt ook \u2019n vryskutredigeerder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wanneer sy \u2019n blaaskans kry, gaan sy gimnasium toe, speel tennis of besoek wynplase. Sy hou ook van bordspeletjies, lees, en televisiereekse kyk. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Met slimkoppe in haar bloedlyn, was dit net \u2019n kwessie van tyd voordat Alberta
