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/emotionsreglering
Current research focus is on emotion regulation, treatment interventions for
gender minority/transgender individuals and borderline personality disorder.
