Research and teaching

In our academic teaching, we use innovative didactic and digital training tools to teach evidence-based psychotherapy for children and adolescents, including the American "Practice Wise" program with the "Managing and Adapting Practice" (MAP) system. MAP is a cross-therapeutic system that consolidates and coordinates the entire evidence on the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions and their practical implementation in one model. The teaching of psychotherapeutic competencies in simulated and real therapy situations, which is a central part of future psychotherapists’ training according to the licensing regulations for psychotherapists in Germany (PsychThApprO), is another teaching and research topic of the department. Together with our cooperation partners, we focus on the teaching and behavior-based assessment of psychotherapeutic social skills.
