A new approach – the network theory – is gaining ground in clinical psychology. This approach views mental disorders as networks of interacting symptoms and does not assume a single underlying cause. In this symposium, the rationale for adopting a network approach in psychology will be explained, and students will gain hands-on experience with its practical applications. As some participants may already have experience with network analysis, we will offer two different work-shops – one basic and one more advanced – that will be given in parallel, thus participants must decide beforehand which workshop they want to attend. In addition, there will be room for conceptual discussions – fueled by recent debates about the clinical utility of the network approach and its implications for the field of experimental psychopathology – and students will be encouraged to critically think about how and when (not) to apply network analyses in their own research.
