Erik Forsell

I am a licenced clinical psychologist, post doc and Director of Research and Development at the Internet Psychiatry Clinic in Stockholm (internetpsykiatri.se).

My research focus is implementing, delivering and optimizing internet interventions within healthcare systems in order to reach as many in need as possible and provide treatments that are as effective and efficient as they can be.

I attenden the psychologist programme at Linköping University between 2009-2014 where my master's thesis was about ICBT for procrastination within a research project. This was my first experience providing internet interventions. After graduating I moved back to my hometown of Stockholm and came to the Internet Psychiatry Clinic as a prospective PhD-student and psychologist in five different randomized controlled trials of ICBT for insomnia, comorbid insomnia and depression, and depression during pregnancy. The focus of my doctoral thesis was adaptive treatment strategies in ICBT where patients are monitored during the early stages of treatment and those at risk of not benefitting from treatment get targeted with extra support and rescources. I defended my thesis in May of 2020, mostly via Zoom of course...

Since then I have been working as Director of Research and Development at the Internet Psyhciatry Clinic splitting my time between research, clinical developmend and management.
