Research CPS

Clinical Psychological Science (CPS) is involved in research and academic education in the area of experimental clinical psychology. Although the themes of CPS are quite diverse, their common ground is the experimental approach to the study of psychopathology. CPS consists of four sections: Eating Disorders and Obesity, Forensic Psychology, Behavioural Medicine, and Clinical Psychology.

Besides its scientific value, the research of CPS is highly relevant to society. The prevalence of eating disorders, pain, sexual disorders, anxiety, depression or personality disorders is high. These conditions are associated with much human suffering and pose a large financial burden for society. Research findings may be used in their prevention and treatment. Professionals from the legal arena and those working in forensic hospitals may benefit from insights from forensic psychology.
