Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy (Master)

Mental disorders usually have complex causes. Clinical psychology aims to understand such mental problems and their development and maintenance at a high scientific level.

Psychotherapy provides methods for treating these complex phenomena. The research-oriented Master's program at the University of Kassel offers students who aspire to work in clinical therapy and/or counseling an optimal preparation for their future profession.

The guiding idea of the Master's program in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy is the integrative teaching of procedure-specific and cross-procedural disorder and intervention models. This is combined with in-depth training in clinical psychological research methods. The goal of the program is to provide in-depth mastery of the complex field of clinical psychology and psychotherapy. The master's program is designed for four semesters and is divided into the content areas: Diagnostics/Disorders, Intervention/Therapy, Research, and Interdisciplinary Topics.
