Sepideh Shirani, an Iranian psychodynamic psychotherapist and member of the Tehran Center for Psychoanalytic Studies and IARPP, holds an MA in Psychology. Her primary research focus centers on understanding the impact of individual and shared traumas on individuals, clinical scenarios, and group dynamics.

In her widely presented master's thesis, Sepideh contributed valuable insights to several Iranian sociological associations and sociology departments, addressing how certain homeless men, despite facing severe traumatic experiences and a lack of a sense of belonging, could navigate survival and transformative life changes.

In addition, Sepideh has played an active role as the assistant to the scientific committee chair of the Fourth Iranian Congress of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychotherapy. Also, alongside her colleagues, she presented a symposium at the same congress, exploring the challenges faced by psychotherapists in the aftermath of the shared trauma in Iran in 2023. Notably, their symposium received acclaim as the most favored session by the audience.
