Curriculum Vitae
Sjoukje Berdina Beike de Boer was born in Rijnsaterwoude, The Netherlands, on the 24th of December 1972. After finishing high school, she started her study Psychology at the University of Leiden. In the final year of her study she started her first position as a researcher at Het Palmhuis, the forensic psychiatric treatment facility of De Jutters, Center of Youth Mental Healthcare in The Hague. Het Palmhuis had been granted an experimental status and had to acquire subsistence rights. In this context she conducted program evaluation research, which after five years led to structural funding. She also worked part-time at the department of scientific research at De Jutters. Beside, a few years later in 2001 she started working as a psychologist researcher at De Fjord, center of Orthopsychiatry and Forensic Youth Psychiatry in Capelle aan den IJssel. Here she started her PHD thesis, as an external PHD student at the Erasmus University and over time, she switched to the University of Leiden. She also became member of the Stuurgroep Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek of Lucertis. In 2008 she switched the part that she worked for Het Palmhuis to De Jutters in general to start working as Routine Outcome Measurement (ROM) coordinator, primarily to monitor and improve the quality of the treatments that were offered as well as to obtain data for scientific research to support the institution. After a few years, ROM became a national obligation from the health insurers, as a result of which the focus of ROM changed into accountability through response percentages. With her colleagues, she adapted ROM in such a way that it met the requirements of the health insurers and, in consultation with the departments of De Jutters, the ROM was designed to support treatment and provide relevant data for scientific research. In 2014 the scientific research department of De Jutters was dissolved and she started working part-time as a psychologist at the department of Neuropsychiatry, offering diagnoses and treatment to youth with ADHD and autism spectrum disorders (ASS). In 2016 she was asked to take part in a committee with the aim of converting the ROM system of De Jutters to the ROM system of the Parnassia Group and subsequently she restarted to work as ROM coordinator, albeit for only a small part of her assignment. In 2017 she switched from the department of Neuropsychiatry to the central registration and indication department of De Jutters (CAT).
