Onderzoek

Mijn onderzoek richt zich op hoe vroege, recente en actuele stressoren interacteren met cognitieve processen (b.v. aandacht, geheugen, denken, redeneren), gedragsmatige processen (b.v. toenadering en vermijding), en biologische processen (b.v. brein activatie en de HPA-as). Mijn focus ligt op angststoornissen, depressieve stoornissen, somatoforme stoornissen en persoonlijkheidsstoornissen. Mijn doel is om de complexe interacties tussen cognitieve, gedragsmatige en biologische processen bij deze vier stress-gerelateerde stoornissen te begrijpen. Deze stoornissen vertonen een hoge mate van co-morbiditeit, hebben vergelijkbare oorzakelijke en onderhoudende factoren en reageren op soortgelijke psychologische en farmacologische behandelingen. In het onderzoeken van transdiagnostische risico factoren zoals vroegkinderlijk misbruik en onderhoudende factoren zoals emotie regulatie strategieën, gebruik ik uiteenlopende onderzoekmethoden (b.v., cognitieve laboratorium taken, vergelijkend therapie onderzoek, epidemiologisch onderzoek).
