Current main research interests:

• Can personalized symptom networks improve clinical diagnosis and treatment? (NSMD);

• Can we improve cognitive bias modification in addiction and other disorders, based on a new theoretical perspective? (automatic inferences, see ABC-training);

• Can we improve assessment and methods to change attentional bias in addiction and other disorders? (e.g., dual probe and VMAC).
