Overview

The chair's research profile combines clinical-psychological and psychotherapeutic questions with neurobiological research approaches in a multi-level approach in order to characterize, model and predict disease progression, psychotherapeutic change processes and individual therapy response in a differentiated manner.

Methodologically, the chair combines longitudinal clinical studies with experimental paradigms, neurobiological and psychophysiological analyses (including epigenetic methods, stress-physiological parameters) and digital approaches, in particular virtual reality. In this way, clinical and psychotherapeutic issues can be investigated under controlled conditions and linked with experimental paradigms and neurobiological and stress-physiological measurements. At the same time, innovative approaches for the further development of psychotherapeutic interventions will be developed on this basis.
