After graduating, she worked at the Free University of Berlin, among others . She is scientifically dedicated to coping with the trauma of war victims . Her work focuses on the treatment of complex trauma-related disorders.

Maria Böttche, for example, is working on the internet-based project life diary . This started in May 2008. The project is aimed at people who had experienced the Second World War decades before and were traumatized to talk about their experiences. The Internet has been an alternative access point for people traumatized by the World War since millions have used this medium. In follow-up observations of the Life Diary project , it was found that the symptoms of post- traumatic stress disorder had significantly improved in those involved .

Böttche also deals with the traumatization of refugees in the 21st century. She worked at the Berlin Treatment Center for Torture Victims . Maria Böttche was involved in the development of two apps called Almhar and Smilers , which are specially designed for refugees and which should offer low- threshold access to psychological help if necessary.

This is available in Arabic .
