Research and main areas of activity

Peter Matthiessen advocated a pluralism of perspectives, methods and theories in medicine. This was already a founding impulse of the University of Witten/Herdecke. He advocated greater consideration of the medical judgment of the individual physician and brought forward methodological criticisms of common study designs in medicine.[14]
