Psychiatry encompasses several exceptional research themes. In General and Adult Psychiatry, led by Professor Christoph Lauber since late 2007, the primary focus is 'social inclusion and exclusion of individuals with severe mental illness.' The research mission is framed as: Addressing severe mental illness - translating clinical inquiries into research findings and applying them back to practice. Key areas of investigation include: vocational support for individuals with psychosis and common mental disorders, participation of patients and caregivers in mental healthcare, societal stigma surrounding mental illness, mental health service evaluation, and intervention studies.
