Pim Cuijpers

Do we know how psychotherapies work? Read this fascinating article in Knowlable Magazine by Katherine Ellison. “It is as if we have been in a pilot phase of research for five decades”

In September I will officially retire, but will continue with parts of my scientific work. I will give 4 webinars in September on the leading theme of my work in the past decades: How can we reduce the disease burden of depression on the population level. The webinars describe my work on four subthemes: (1) Preventing the onset of depressive disorders; (2) Digital interventions and the need to develop scalable interventions for global mental health; (3) How to improve the effectiveness of psychological interventions for depression (and how meta-analyses can contribute to that); and (4) A research agenda for further reductions of the disease burden of depression.
Read here an interview I gave on these webinars and why I want to give an interim overview of my work on these topics (and follow me for more information about the webinars)
