Computational Clinical Psychology: Using Mathematical and Computational Models to Advance Clinical Theory and Practice

Saturday, May 28, 2022 · Chicago, IL

Oral · Clinical Science

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