Improving Psychological Treatments Using Computational Models

Friday, May 26, 2023 · Washington, DC

Oral · Clinical Science

Psychological treatments are interventions on complex systems. The consequences of such interventions are inherently difficult to anticipate, making it challenging to determine the most effective treatment for a disorder. Using examples from across domains of clinical science, this symposium will illustrate how computational models can inform and improve psychological treatment.
