The Clinical Psychology of Social Interaction working group headed by Prof. Dr. Isabel Dziobek is part of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Prof. Dziobek is also head of the University Outpatient Clinic for Psychotherapy and Psychodiagnostics at HU Berlin and the Special Outpatient Clinic for Social Interaction. Our research group focuses on the bio-psycho-social mechanisms and treatment of social interaction and its disorders. We use methods from experimental psychology and neuroscience to investigate cognitive and emotional processes underlying social interaction and communication with others. We also develop interventions and therapies for people with mental illness.

clinical work
The Outpatient Clinic for Social Interaction of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin offers consultation, diagnostics and therapy. The offer is aimed at people who have problems in social interaction and communication.
participatory Research involvement
The AFK is an initiative of autistic people and autism scientists at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, which was founded by Prof. Dziobek in 2007. Within the AFK, autistic adults decide for themselves which research questions are relevant to them.
Patient and public involvement in clinical research improves the relevance and quality of studies and empowers those affected. The Berlin Circle for Participatory Research in Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry (B-Part) was established to enable patients to participate more actively in the selection of topics, planning, implementation and dissemination of research results.
