Overview

How do people perceive their surroundings? Do people with anxiety disorders selectively attend to threatening information? We investigate this with the help of behavioral observations, eye tracking and the use of virtual reality.

We investigate effects of psychological interventions in the context of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of mental and somatic disorders.

We are interested in principles that help to develop and maintain positive couple and parent-child relationships.
