Universitätsklinik für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie und Psychotherapie

In der Arbeitsgruppe Klinische Psychologie beschäftigen wir uns mit digitalen Ansätzen in der Prävention und Therapie von psychischen Störungen. Dafür untersuchen wir zum Beispiel, wie Apps oder technische Assistenzsysteme bzw. Robotik Psychotherapie unterstützen können. Wir beschäftigen uns auch mit Risiko- und Belastungsfaktoren für die psychische Gesundheit von Kindern, Jugendlichen und ihren Familien. Außerdem untersuchen wir, ob und wie neue Unterstützungs- oder Therapieangebote Kindern und Jugendlichen noch besser helfen können.
