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.
