Assistant Psychologist 60% for the Early Intervention Clinic BEATS

Are you motivated to contribute your experience and benefit from the university environment?

The Early Intervention Clinic BEATS (Basel Early Treatment Service) focuses primarily on the assessment and treatment of psychological risk states and first episodes of psychotic disorders in young people aged 15-35 years. This can prevent possible negative consequences of mental illnesses, such as chronicity of the illness, loss of employment or training place, impairment of relationships, social withdrawal and suicide attempts. In addition, in close cooperation with the UPK acute clinic, short-term psychotherapeutic interventions are also offered for a broader diagnostic spectrum.
