DGPs Congress of Legal and Forensic Psychology

In September 2025, our research lab visited the 21st Congress of the Legal and Forensic Psychology Division of the German Psychological Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychologie) in Munich, Germany. Our PhD candidates Flora Logoz, Antonia Schubert, Lara Schwarz, and Katharina Zell presented research findings on their current projects - representing family law psychology, child abuse and risk assessment, and development of aggressive behavior. It was a great time to reconnect with colleagues from research and practice.

Derek Eaves Research Grant for PhD Students

We are glad to announce that one of our PhD students, Lara Schwarz, has been awarded the Derek Eaves Research Grant from the International Association of Forensic Mental Health Services (IAFMHS). This grant supports innovative research in the field of forensic mental health.

Lara’s research focuses on parental risk factors for child psychological maltreatment, and the grant will help cover the costs of study materials and participant reimbursement. This funding will directly support participant engagement and ensure the successful progression of this work.
