Tania Lincoln PhD

Dr. Tania M. Lincoln, Ph.D. is a Head of Department and Professor at Hamburg University. Her Clinical Interests are Psychopathology, Psychotherapeutic Processes, Treatment, Psychological Assessment, Mental Illness, Counseling, Personality Assessment, Psychoeducation, Clinical Assessment, and Behavioral Psychology. The main aim of her research is to find out how and why psychotic symptoms arise and how they are maintained. This research involves identifying factors on an individual level and in the environment that may make a person vulnerable to developing psychosis. In her recent work, she has laid a strong emphasis on looking at the dynamic interplay between people’s vulnerability on the one hand and their emotional and cognitive information processing on the other. She uses this knowledge to improve psychological interventions for people with psychotic disorders.
