Our current research projects deal with a variety of relevant topics in the areas of specific psychotherapy, didactics of psychotherapy training and health care.

MaGneT: Psychotherapy study for those affected by borderline personality disorder

Borderline personality disorder is characterized by a profound pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships and self-image. Those affected sometimes suffer from extreme inner tension due to intense emotional fluctuations. It is not uncommon for self-harming behaviors to be used to relieve such states of tension.
The MaGnet research project aims to improve outpatient psychotherapeutic treatment for those affected by borderline personality disorder. As part of a nationwide study, mentalization-based therapy (MBT) is to be compared with other psychotherapies established in Germany (depth psychology-based psychotherapy and behavioural therapy) in terms of its effectiveness with regard to suicidal tendencies and self-injurious behaviour as well as other health-related aspects. For this reason, scientifically supported psychotherapeutic treatments specially tailored to the disease are offered in the Jena area, among others.

DeeP: Effects of deliberate practice and feedback in psychotherapy training

Interpersonal skills are among the most important competencies of psychotherapists. These include skills that support patients in tackling important change processes as well as the ability to deal constructively with crises in the therapeutic relationship.
The DeeP project deals with the question of how these skills can best be taught and developed in psychotherapy training and whether and in what way the success of therapy is influenced by these processes. The focus here is on the teaching methods "deliberate practice" (conscious, small-scale, repetition-based practice of complex skills) and structured feedback.
The aim of the project is to make an important contribution to evidence-based psychotherapy training.

Together4Trans: S3 guideline on healthcare for gender incongruence

The Together4Trans project is developing an interdisciplinary S3 guideline for the healthcare of people with gender incongruence. Somatic and psychosocial aspects are given equal consideration in order to ensure integrated and comprehensive care in the future. A central task of the project is to close knowledge gaps in the existing guidelines and to develop practical treatment recommendations for professionals and patients. The guideline is being developed in collaboration with over 50 specialist societies and will be accompanied by an online survey to improve interdisciplinary communication.
