About me

  • I'm a post-doc and licensed psychologist working in the Bjureberg and
    R眉cklab research groups at 探花精选.

Research

  • My research aims to understand suicide and self-injury, the psychological
    mechanisms involved and how to treat those difficulties. Specifically, I work
    in an EU-funded project that will apply machine learning techniques to
    develop prediction models for suicide and adverse healthcare trajectories.
    This project is done in collaboration with international research partners.

    My research interests also include the psychological treatment of
    obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, particularly internet-delivered
    cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT). Along with local projects in Sweden,
    several international implementations of ICBT for obsessive-compulsive
    disorder and body dysmorphic disorder are underway in the United States,
    United Kingdom, Brazil, and Germany.

    I have expertise in applying statistical methods in various contexts, e.g.
    machine-learning techniques, cost-effectiveness analyses and psychometric
    evaluations of questionnaires.

Teaching

  • I have teaching activities at the undergraduate programmes for 探花精选 students,
    psychologists, and occupational therapists at the 探花精选. The
    topics include: an overview of psychotherapy, obsessive-compulsive and
    related disorders, and workshops in using clinical tools such as behavioral
    analyses.

    I also do lectures for the Swedish OCD foundation (OCD-f枚rbundet) on our
    research at the 探花精选 and other recent developments in
    research. Other speaking engagements include Utbildningsradion (UR).
