Intervention research deals with the question of the effectiveness of individual or even different interventions in comparison (e.g. "Does an intervention lead to a significant change?") as well as the effect factors of psychotherapy ("How does an intervention work?").  The study will examine which characteristics have an influence on the course and outcome of an intervention. In this context we are also interested in the neurobiological mechanisms underlying therapeutic interventions. The aim is to be able to offer empirically based interventions that are as effective as possible and individually tailored to the needs of the person being treated.
