Research group

Clinical psychology, neuroscience and health

The research group conducts scientific research to increase our knowledge in clinical psychology, primarily interventions for mental health problems in people with and without neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD as well as mechanisms and neural correlates in the brain.

About me

I am medicine doctor in Psychology, licensed psychologist, licensed psychotherapist (CBT),and  specialist in clinical psychology. I have about 20 years of clinical experience working with diagnosis, treatment and supervision in psychiatry. A large part of my involvement in healthcare has been the coordination and leadership of several different projects, including the development and writing of guidelines for assessment and treatment for children and young people with autism and ADHD and the development of a specialist training for psychologists in clinical child and adolescent psychology. Furthermore, I have several years of experience teaching in advanced training programs.

The areas I teach are cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), basic skills in CBT, assessment, investigation and interventions for children and adolescents, ethics and theory of science and research methodology. I am responsible for the following courses: CBT in theory and application (10hp), Assessment and interventions for the individual, children and adolescents (7,5 hp), Ethics for Psychotherapists and Psychological Specialists (2,5 hp), Theory of Science and Research Methodology in Psychotherapy I (4hp) and II (3,5 hp). I also give lectures on various courses and programs on different aspects of assessment, investigation and interventions for children, adolescents and adults with autism and ADHD. Furthermore, I supervise students who work with theses in the psychology program and the psychotherapist program.

I am interested in research on psychotherapy research (CBT), neuropsychology and instrument validation. I am particularly interested in underlying mechanisms of treatment outcome, interventions for people with disabilities, social cognition, emotion regulation and communication. In 2016, I received my PhD from the Department of Women's Health, Karolinska Institutet with the thesis ">Social skills training in groups for children and adolescents with autism.

I work with both quantitative and qualitative research methods as well as with systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The results of my studies have been presented at both national and international conferences, in the form of chapters in clinical manuals, and in journals and seminars.

Virtual patients and a virtual training clinic

In this project, virtual patients will be developed and evaluated with the aim of creating better conditions for dynamic skills training and authentic learning for psychology students.

iMERAT

This research project is about effects of Internet-based multimodal emotion recognition training (iMERTAT) on social skills in adolescents with or without autism.

Psychophysical function of phobic fear

Using psychological tests and symptom scales in questionnaire form to make an initial assessment of symptoms and severity is common and valuable. However, constructing such tests so that they truly reflect the individual's feelings as accurately as possible is difficult.
