Dr. Maric had already dreamed in her youth of becoming a psychotherapist to treat complex mental health problems. After her move to the Netherlands in 1995, she studied Clinical Psychology at Leiden University and graduated with distinction. After this, she received a NWO grant to study mediators and moderators of youth, parent and teacher therapy outcomes for anxiety-based school refusal in adolescence. She received her Ph.D. from this project and Leiden University in 2010 and moved to University of Amsterdam to work as an Assistant Professor. In her current position, Dr. Maric conducts youth, parent and family intervention research using both Randomized Controlled Trials as well as Single-Case Experimental Design Methods. She teaches courses about theory, research and clinical practice skills of psychological interventions for children and adolescents, and supervises (post) graduate students in their research and clinical activities. Dr. Maric is a licensed Cognitive behavioral therapist and has worked for several years at UvA Minds, an academic treatment center for children and parents.

Single-case experimental designs in clinical practice.
In this project several activities are undertaken: (i) development of guidelines for the conduct of single-case studies in clinical practice in collaboration with methodologists; (ii) valorization of this knowledge via individual supervision, congress symposia, workshops, and participation in policy boards concerned with mental health care in the Netherlands.
The effectiveness of a multidisciplinary treatment of child abuse
In this multicenter ZonMW-supported project the effectiveness of an innovative treatment protocol, Resolutions Approach (RA), is investigated using single-case methodology. Main goals are to examine whether RA leads to a decrease in child abuse incidents and increase in safety in the families.
Mechanisms of personalized treatment for youth anxiety
In a multi-center ZonMW-supported project non-specific mediators of personalized CBT outcomes are investigated.
