Pedro Martins, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist. He earned his Master’s and Doctoral degrees from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He is the cofounder of “Therapeutic Interventions,” which is an online project that aims to offer honest and uncomplicated knowledge about practice for therapists.

Selected publications include “Conversation resources for clinical practice with families in mental health” (with S. McNamee and C. Guanaes-Lorenzi, 2017) and “Family as a discursive achievement: A relational account” (with S. McNamee and C. Guanaes-Lorenzi, 2014).
