Research Interests:

• The role of cognitive mechanisms, both explicit (e.g., autobiographical
  memory) and implicit (e.g., implicit memory/learning; priming) in generating subjective/emotional (cognition-emotion relation), behavioral, and psycho-physiological human responses
• Evidence based psychotherapy, with a focus on clinical trials, with multilevel analyses, concerning (1) outcomes (i.e., efficacy and/or effectiveness); (2) theory/mechanisms of change (both psychological and neurobiological); and (3) economical aspects (e.g., cost-effectiveness, cost-utility)
• The use of technological developments in clinical psychology/ psychotherapy (i.e., virtual/augmented reality therapy; robotherapy)
