Biography

Gert-Jan Hendriks investigates the outcomes of psychological treatments for elderly persons suffering from anxiety disorders and depression. He is particularly interested in age-related phenomenological differences that require adaptations in psychological treatments. His research focuses on specific transdiagnostic processes associated with anxiety disorders and depression, such as repetitive negative thoughts and avoidance. These processes play a significant role in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders and depression, which are prevalent mental disorders among older adults. Despite the growing body of research on these issues in younger populations, there is a notable lack of studies addressing these processes in older individuals.
