Addiction and dependence pose major challenges to psychological research and treatment. Embedded in the new research priority “Health” of the University of Luxembourg, experts report in public lectures on the state of scientific research and therapeutic practice. Various forms of dependencies, their diagnosis and treatment will be presented and discussed. The lecture series thus addresses highly topical and socially relevant health issues.
The lecture series takes place on Thursdays from 5 p.m. Presentations will be held in German or English. A reception is held after each presentation.
