LEF grant to pilot social anxiety treatment for Semiha Aydin

Semiha Aydin is one of the three first-generation researchers who received a grant from the Leiden Empowerment Fund to stimulate their scientific career.

Schema therapy

Semiha sees the grant as an opportunity to combine her passions for science and clinical practice. She will conduct a pilot study on the feasability of schema therapy for young adults with social anxiety disorder. Schema therapy is a promising treatment and it may be particularly relevant for first-generation students, who may experience a negative impact of social anxiety on their academic career.
