An Award in IPSY
Yorgo HOEBEKE a reçu le « Prix de Psychologie » de l’Académie Royale de Belgique.

This prize is awarded every three years for the BEST THESIS in the field of psychology presented at a Belgian university by a Belgian student or a student from a European Union country during the three-year period of the prize (1/1/2022 to 31/12/2024).
Yorgo's thesis shows that by adopting more refined methods of measurement and analysis, which capture the changing and plural nature of rumination, we can open up new and essential perspectives to better understand it and, ultimately, develop more effective strategies to help those who suffer from it.
