Bridge between research and innovative therapy

Based on our belief that insight into the psychological and neurobiological underpinnings of psychopathology can inform assessment and treatment, our programme bridges fundamental research into learning & memory and clinical research into innovative psychotherapies (including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), that capitalises on close collaboration with clinical practice.

Research topics

Specific current research topics include: emotional memory and treatment of anxiety disorders, an individual differences perspective on clinical assessment and treatment, forensic psychology, habit-based interventions, medical psychology, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep, psychosis, self-injury, atypical development, and mindfulness.
