Humanistic psychotherapy has been scientifically evaluated and includes theperson-centered approach,motivational interviewing and emotion-focused psychotherapy.
• The Certificate of Advanced Studies in Motivational Interviewing teaches solution-oriented and practice-proven behaviors and skills that enable change processes, specifically promote motivation and use this for behavioral change.

Crosstalks. Bridging the gap between science and practise

Clinical practice is difficult to imagine without a scientific basis and research without a clinical reference. But where research looks for general models, clinical practice deals with people and their lives. Accordingly, the efficient interaction of science and clinical practice requires equal cooperation and communication between researchers and clinical practitioners. This is where our Crosstalks come in, with the aim of bridging the gap between research and practice.
