At TRE (HUG), he co-managed a program focusing on Mentalization-Based Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder, gaining wide experience in process-based therapies for personality disorders. Dr. Duarte actively engages with the scientific community, particularly in the debate on personality disorder classification, having published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. 

 

Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Duarte shares his expertise through teaching positions at HUG, HEdS, CG Jung-Institut Zürich and frequently engaging in public talks and seminars.
