Goals of the actions are: development of assessment procedures; analysis of efficacy of interventions for empowerment, prevention and rehabilitation in diverse life contexts; contributions to the development of a person centred, positive and ecological rehabilitation model.
Thesis proposals
Themes can be identified within the research areas or agreed upon with the students.
Basic themes are
- integrative models of development in adulthood, with particular reference to personal and professional development;
- psychological resources and challenges in the living context;
- development and promotion of social-emotional skills over the life span;
- promotion of executive skills and well-being;
- from systems of influence to assessment and intervention on intra-individual and systemic resources.
Research projects typically involve individuals with healthy development as well as persons who experience consequences of neurological problems, disability, and/or psychosocial discomfort. Participants are often involved in the implementation of psychoeducational actions or programs. A life span approach is adopted.
