Research focus

Area one, involves transdiagnostic perspectives on groups suffering from persistent physical symptoms such as pain, fatigue, or gastrointestinal issues. Providing support and help for patients with these conditions is one of healthcare’s greatest challenges. The research program SOMEX aims to understand and develop transdiagnostic exposure-based treatment. Interests also includes measurement methods, for example focusing on symptom preoccupation and health anxiety.

Area two, explores behavioral medicine perspectives on cancer survivorship. As life expectancy increases, approximately 6% of Sweden’s current population has received a cancer diagnosis at some point. The research program IN-FACT aims to develop evidence-based approaches for psychological support in cases of long-term distress among cancer survivors.
