Anna Lichtwarck-Aschoff

Anna Lichtwarck-Aschoff is a dedicated professional who employs an interdisciplinary approach, merging developmental, complexity, and clinical science in her research endeavors. Her primary aim is to craft a personalized research paradigm that delves into small data dynamic-systems to enhance the comprehension of individual treatment processes in practical care environments, bridging the divide between theory and application. With over five years of experience in analyzing clinical data, Anna focuses on deciphering nonlinear change processes and relationship dynamics driving treatment outcomes. Her research spotlight has been on disrupting entrenched psychopathological states to instigate a shift towards healthier and more adaptable functional patterns. Through a series of studies across diverse target demographics and treatment scenarios, she has explored the premise that treatment goals involve breaking rigid patterns and fostering flexibility for improved functioning. Notably, Anna and her team were pioneers in revealing that temporary perturbations in clients' daily self-assessments can forecast forthcoming clinical transitions, offering unprecedented insights for tailoring interventions to individual needs on a dynamic basis.
