Research at the Faculty of Psychotherapy Science

As the founding faculty of SFU, the Faculty of Psychotherapy Science was established in 2005 as one of the first university institutions worldwide to anchor psychotherapy science as an academic discipline. Both nationally and internationally, it has not only played a pioneering role in the academic training and professionalisation of psychotherapists, but has also played a key role in the further development of psychotherapy science research.

The five places of implementation of the Faculty of Psychotherapy Science in Vienna, Linz, Berlin, Paris, and Ljubljana, as well as the associated university psychotherapy clinics at almost all locations, form an international network of teaching, research, and care facilities, providing the ideal structure for multi-site research projects.
