About me

  • I'm a licensed psychologist, licensed psychotherapist, research group
    leader, and professor in psychology at the Department of Clinical
    Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet.

Research

  • Anxiety disorders, depression and stress disorders are highly prevalent, lead
    to severe suffering for the affected, and are associated with substantial
    societal costs. The research in my group is focused on treatment and
    assessment of these disorders, with emphasis on health anxiety, i.e. a
    chronic and debilitating fear of acquiring somatic disease. Central aims of
    the research are also to investigate how psychological treatment works when
    provided in regular clinical settings and how well treatments work when
    delivered as via the Internet. I was part of the founding team of the
    Internet Psychiatry Clinic (www.internetpsykiatri.se), which is one of the
    leading clinics in the field of Internet-based treatment.
