Research
Cognition in Emotional Disorders and Resilience (CEDAR) Group
The Cognition in Emotional Disorders and Resilience (CEDAR) group’s research focuses on understanding both the mechanisms that maintain mental health difficulties and those that foster resilience. We use this knowledge to help us develop new interventions that target these mechanisms either in face-to-face therapy or via digital therapeutics.
