Alexander Rozental

After graduating from the Psychology Program in 2011 with a MSc, I worked as a clinical psychologist at an outpatient psychiatric care unit and as a lecturer at the Centre for Psychiatry Research at Karolinska Institutet. I became a Licensed Psychologist in Sweden in 2012 and have continued doing part-time clinical work in different settings ever since. I completed my PhD at the Department of Psychology at Stockholm University in 2017 with a doctoral thesis on the negative effects of Internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy, supervised by Professors Per Carlbring, Gerhard Andersson, and Johanna Boettcher. After my dissertation I spent two years as a researcher with Professor Roz Shafran at the Great Ormond Street Hospital Institute of Child Health at University College London. I then completed a postdoctoral position with Associate Professor Tobias Lundgren at the Centre for Psychiatry Research at Karolinska Institutet in 2021, where I am presently an affiliated researcher, doctoral supervisor, and principal investigator for the implementation of patient-controlled admissions to inpatient care in Region Stockholm. Between 2021-2024, I worked as an Associate Professor and Study Director at the Department of Psychology at Uppsala University. Since 2024 I have been a Professor in psychology at the Department of Health, Education and Technology at Luleå University of Technology. I am also the Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
