Welcome to the Intervention Lab
Explore our research on common mental health disorders, particularly depression and anxiety
Mission
The main mission of the intervention lab of Dr. Bockting is to improve mental health outcomes in common mental health conditions. Her lab focuses on finding potentially modifiable factors that can be targeted with innovative interventions to prevent or treat depression, anxiety and suicidality. Dr. Bockting developed Preventive Cognitive Therapy (PCT) as a treatment against relapse in depressive disorders and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in several randomized controlled trials and settings, with reported preventive effects up to 20 years. Recently, Dr. Bockting has published a book on PCT, click here for more information.
Our Research Topics
Under the guidance of Claudi Bockting and the shared expertise of our team, our lab focuses on:
Understanding etiological, maintenance, and relapse factors in depression, suicidality and anxiety using a complex systems approach.
Developing innovative multimodal psychological interventions incorporating technology, and evaluating their effects in RCTs.
Improving accessibility of interventions in underserved populations (including those in low- to middle-income countries) by integrating technology and training non-specialists.
Societal challenges and mental health (e.g., urbanicity, responsible use of AI).
