Since the second supervisors belong to other departments and therefore do not usually attend the research colloquium regularly, they will be invited to the corresponding date by the PhD student.
Welcome to the
to the website of the Chair of Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy with a focus on transplantation medicine and oncology.
We are concerned with the psychosocial effects of a serious physical illness, such as cancer or an organ transplant, which can have an impact on the psychological functioning of both the patient and their social environment (partnership, underage children).
Find out more about our research projects here.
In addition to clinical research and the development of supportive interventions, we also offer clinical care services. Find out more about our wide range of inpatient and outpatient consultation, treatment and care services under clinical care services.
Since 2019, we have been offering certified psycho-oncology training in cooperation with the ID Institute. Further information can be found under Curriculum Psychooncology.
