There are many types of psychological treatments including cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and problem solving therapy.  We develop and evaluate these treatments, exploring which ones work best for which problems and for which people.  Current research includes the treatment of depression, health anxiety, eating disorders and paranoia.

CREDO was established in 1981. It is funded by the Wellcome Trust. The main focus of its research is on the treatment of eating disorders. More recently, it has also developed methods to facilitate the dissemination of effective psychological interventions. It is in the process of creating a digital treatment for eating disorders (CBTe).
