Research and teaching

In our academic teaching, we use research-based teaching approaches to teach science and practice hand in hand. To this end, we use innovative didactic and digital training tools to teach evidence-based psychotherapy in childhood and adolescence.

One of these tools is the US “Practise Wise” program with the cross-therapy school system “Managing and Adapting Practise” (MAP), which consolidates and coordinates the entire evidence base on the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions and their practical implementation in one model.

The teaching of psychotherapeutic skills in simulated and real therapy situations, which are a central component in the training of future psychotherapists according to the licensing regulations for psychotherapists (PsychThApprO), is another teaching and research topic of the AE. Together with our cooperation partners, we focus on the teaching and behavior-based assessment of psychotherapeutic social skills.

In addition, as part of the Master's degree program in Psychology: Focus on Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy (M.Sc. KliPPt), we pursue the approach of research-based teaching and learning to continuously improve the teaching-learning processes and skills transfer of students, as well as their research.
