Abstract
Tracking and comparing psychotherapeutic data derived from questionnaires involves a number of highly structured, time-oriented parameters. Descriptive and other statistical methods are only suited for partial analysis. Therefore, we created a novel spring-based interactive Information Visualization method for analysing these data more in-depth. With our method the user is able to find new predictors for a positive or negative course of the therapy due to the combination of various visualization and interaction methods.
