Computational Clinical Psychology Lab

Katie Aafjes-van Doorn's research lab focuses on Computational Clinical Psychology. We integrate psychotherapy, psychopathology, and clinical training, with computer science, affective computing, and AI to enhance patient outcomes. We focus on verbal, paraverbal, and non-verbal interactions between patients and clinicians, and aim to develop multi-modal AI models for mental health interventions, symptom assessment, and clinical training. Key interests include operationalizing therapeutic relationships in (tele)therapy, and ensuring clinical feasibility of AI tools, videorecordings and automated measurements in mental health interventions.
