Management
The working group focuses on interdisciplinary research into the developmental conditions and treatment options for aggressive behaviour in children and adolescents. The focus is not only on externalising clinical disorders, but also on complex forms of violence such as cyber/bullying, sexualised violence or highly expressive violence and their connection to mental disorders and social and institutional contextual factors. The projects have a high practical relevance. In addition to its scientific work, the research group therefore advises and supports various institutions (youth welfare organisations, sports associations and clubs) on strategic decisions or quality issues.
