Overall, our fields of expertise lie in the area of individualisation or personalisation of psychological interventions (keyword: Precision Medicine, Personalized Treatments). From basic questions on measuring and modelling changes through specific interventions to the development of predictive and problem-solving tools for empirically supported and individualised adaptation of corresponding interventions depending on the course of the intervention.
