Psychotherapy Lab

The Psychotherapy Lab focuses on the investigation of psychological processes that contribute to the development or maintenance of mental disorders. In addition, it is designed to support research on the psychotherapeutic process. It features two assessment rooms equipped with a sophisticated system of cameras and microphones. This equipment enables the unobtrusive observation and recording of clinical interviews as well as psychotherapy sessions for both research and training purposes.
