She investigates therapeutic efficacy, cognitive biases, and daily-life emotional experiences in psychiatric populations. Her work emphasizes translating evidence-based interventions into clinical practice.
Mehl's publications predominantly explore CBT adaptations for psychosis, social-cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, and emotion-paranoia interactions. She employs methodologies like experience sampling, meta-analysis, and randomized trials to examine treatment mechanisms and outcomes. Recurring themes include loneliness, attributional styles, and neurocognitive processes in psychotic disorders.
