  • Positive mental imagery, from psychopathology (depression, anhedonia) to positive aspects of mental health (optimism, resilience)
  • Identifying novel cognitive targets for interventions (e.g. positive mental imagery) and low-
    intensity intervention approaches (e.g. internet delivery)
  • Translational research methods, from single case-series to randomized controlled trials
