Research for better psychiatric care
Christian Rück’s research group works to improve care for people with extensive psychiatric care needs. The group originally focused on obsessive-compulsive disorder and related conditions, but today its research covers a range of psychiatric conditions, including suicidality. The research also includes psychiatric inpatient care and involuntary care.
The group’s research combines clinical studies, epidemiology, genetics, machine learning, implementation research and medical ethics. The research is conducted in close collaboration with patients, relatives, clinicians, healthcare providers and other stakeholders.
The aim is to develop knowledge and care practices that can be used in everyday clinical practice and contribute to better treatment, reduced coercion, increased patient safety and stronger recovery.
More information about the research group and our projects is available on Rücklab.
