Eva Serlachius

Visiting professor in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Department of Clinical Neurosciences

Eva Serlachius is a specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry, and as a
researcher has concentrated on making the diagnosis and treatment process for 
mental ill-health in children and adolescents more accessible through
internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT). Early detection and
intervention are important for the treatment of young people with mental
health issues but are hampered by limited resources and geographical
distances. Since 2010, Serlachius has been developing and evaluating several
iCBT treatments for children and adolescents for such problems as anxiety,
OCD and depression. During this time, the research field has attracted more
researchers, and today she collaborates a great deal with other national and
international groups.
Serlachius is interested in the implementation of iCBT and its position along
the care pathway. On account of her research, BUP Stockholm has created a
specialized unit for iCBT in regular health care, where many of the
treatments are now offered.
