Psych: Research

The School of Psychology and Psychiatry is leading the way in approaching human brain and behaviour from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Much of our work centres on promoting and maintaining mental health, both in preventing mental illness and in promoting wellbeing. Combining both laboratory based sciences and clinical research across psychology, psychiatry and behavioural neuroscience, we translate our findings into evidence-based practice, policy and training.

Our research aims to develop and apply brain and behavioural  understanding to social problems. We are committed to discovering innovative ways to assist those in our community who suffer mental illness, their families and their carers. We work closely with clinicians, hospitals and patients to develop new and improve existing treatments, services and understanding of mental illness and mental health.

We have scientific researchers, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists working together to better understand and inform the neuroscience of behaviour. Using the latest imaging technologies we are linking neuroscience to medical practice and the everyday lives of people living with mental illness. This is complemented by the work we do with our patients, researchers and health services in developing and testing new and innovative treatments for mental illnesses.
