Research

  • I have a long, clinical background mainly specialized in Dialectical Behavior Therapy for women with borderline personality disorder and deliberate self-harm. My PhD-thesis called "Deliberate self-harm – characteristics, clinical correlates and interventions" focused on both cross-sectional and registry-based studies of deliberate self-harm as a phenomenom "outside" of borderline personality disorder, as well as on treatment intervention studies. Our intervention studies are focused on increasing emotion regulation skills in adults and adolescents with self-harm.I have my post-doc studies in Viktor Kaldos researchgroup, where we study the emotion regulating effect of affect labeling, or naming: https://ki.se/cns/emotionsregleringCurrent research focus is on emotion regulation, treatment interventions for gender minority/transgender individuals and borderline personality disorder.
