Psychological & psychiatric interventions
AIHTA reports dealing with ‘mental health’ provide support for decision-making for the continuous development of psychological and psychiatric interventions. Our scientific analyses take particularly multi-perspective approaches into account (e.g. from various areas such as public health, social medicine, social work, nursing etc.).
