Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment
Welcome to the Chair of Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment!
On this website you will find information about our team and our main areas of work.
Our research focuses on the question of why and how mental disorders develop after traumatic experiences and how they can be treated. We also investigate transdiagnostic processes that play an important role in a broad group of mental disorders, that target theses processes.
We are responsible for the MSc Psychology: Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy and also teach our subject in the Bachelor of Psychology program. In addition, we offer advanced training in clinical psychology and psychological treatment.
The Outpatient Center for Psychological Treatment, where we offer diagnostics and psychotherapy, especially for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder, is affiliated to our chair.
If you have any questions about our activities, we look forward to hearing from you!
