Furthermore, questions of personality and the development of individuals, also in different cultures and age groups, as well as the behavior and attitudes of groups are examined. Other areas taught in the Bachelor's degree course are diagnostic methods and the applied subjects of disorder theory, general psychotherapy procedures, preventative and rehabilitative concepts of psychotherapeutic action as well as the basics of educational psychology and work and organizational psychology.
