Psychotherapy Research
Psychotherapy outcome and process research investigate whether and how psychotherapy has an effect. For this purpose, therapy concepts are developed for patients of all ages and with various problem situations. These concepts are then tested using evidence-based methods. In process studies on effective factors and mechanisms, clinical material is examined using a variety of methods and approaches in order to better understand how a given intervention works. Another objective is to maintain and improve the quality of psychotherapy. Psychotherapieforschung: Read more

Transformation Research
The analysis of cultural and social transformation processes focuses on the contradictory experiences, ways of perception, identities and options for action of subjects and social groups under the condition of a radically changing social reality. Explored here is then a psychoanalytically informed and fundamentally empirically-qualitative, transdisciplinary and socio-critical perspective, with which the possibilities for individual and collective emancipation are to be examined.
