Seminar - Evidence-based Psychotherapy (2016-2024)
postgraduate course, Heidelberg University, Center for Psychological Psychotherapy, 2025
The first part of the seminar deals with outcome research. I will introduce user-friendly techniques for evaluating meta-analyses. Based on this, we will work on relevant meta-analyses in psychotherapy research and translate medium effect sizes (e.g., d = 0.5) into practical metrics that are understandable in practice (e.g., 2/3 significantly improve through psychotherapy). We will then relate these findings to the effects of other interventions such as medication or physical activity.
