Computational Clinical Psychology: Using Computational Models to Advance Clinical Theory, Case Conceptualization, and Treatment

Friday, May 22, 2020 · Virtual

Oral · Clinical Science

Mental disorders are dynamic and multicausal phenomena. This symposium will introduce computational models as a promising tool for investigating mental disorders in all their complexity. We will present four innovative uses of computational models and illustrate their potential to advance clinical theory, case conceptualization, and the treatment of mental disorders.
