Social Cognition Workshop “From Self-Knowledge to Knowing Others”

01st – 02nd DECEMBER 2025 BRUSSELS, BELGIUM

Towards the Development of Transdiagnostic Dimensional Approaches and Process-Oriented Evidence-Based Practices to Evaluate and Enhance Self-Other Functioning

The two-day program aims to bridge the gap between understanding the malleability of self-other processes and developing dimensional, process-based methods to evaluate them across diagnostic categories.

EDITION THEMES

1. Transdiagnostic and Dimensional Approaches

2. Process-Oriented Interventions

Exploring how moving beyond categorical diagnoses toward dimensional, cross-cutting models can better capture variations in self–other functioning across mental health conditions.

Discussing evidence-based strategies targeting cognitive and affective processes (e.g., perspective-taking, self-reflection) to assess and improve interpersonal functioning in both clinical and non-clinical populations.

The goal is to present theoretical models and empirical tools designed to capture the multifaceted nature of self-other functioning across transdiagnostic contexts.

Hello, Cyberworld! 🌐 Our project on self-other distinction (SOD)—understanding where you end and others begin—is live! This ability shapes how we connect with others, navigate the social world & impacts our mental health. Join us! #HelloCyberworld #SOD #WeAreOnline
