What happens when people develop mental health problems after experiencing violence; why do some recover while others remain chronically affected? LOEWE-DYNAMIC is looking for participants fo
With the new study "Leben nach Gewalt" (Life After Violence) by the LOEWE Center DYNAMIC, researchers from the Universities of Frankfurt, Giessen, and Marburg aim to discover how experiences of violence affect mental health — and why people react differently to such experiences.
They are looking for participants between the ages of 18 and 70 who have experienced physical violence at least once in their lives. Contact and further information: Lebennachgewalt@psych.uni-frankfurt.de or Lebennachgewalt@uni-giessen.de and the website of the study (see below).
The study's innovative approach combines psychological, biological, and social factors (including interviews, biosamples, and smartphone data collection in everyday life) and aims to contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of trauma-related consequences. This will enable more individualized and effective diagnostics and therapy in the future, as well as better support for those affected.
Goethe University Frankfurt, Philipps University Marburg, and Justus Liebig University Giessen are collaborating on this interdisciplinary project. The cooperation between the departments of Clinical Psychology, Social Psychology, Biological Psychology, and Psychiatry allows for a better understanding of how traumatic experiences affect mental health.
