معرفی
Jessica Mariana Carlsson is a Research Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen and Head of Research at the Competence Centre for Transcultural Psychiatry (CTP), Mental Health Services in the Capital Region of Denmark. She is also Co-PI of the CultMind project and leads a dynamic research group at both CTP and Trauma Research and Treatment (TREAT) at Mental Health Centre Ballerup. Her role integrates research leadership, clinical work, teaching, and supervision.
Research Interests:
Jessica's work centers on transcultural psychiatry and clinical research on trauma-affected populations, particularly refugees. Her primary focus includes PTSD, treatment development, cultural influences on mental health, and the integration of research with clinical practice through the Treatment and Research Integrated Model (TRIM). She employs both quantitative and qualitative methods and leads neurobiological studies using MRI and EEG.
Research Trends:
Her recent publications (2023–2025) show a strong emphasis on developing and validating assessment tools (e.g., ScoRE-SR), understanding sleep and pain in PTSD, refining diagnostic processes for migrants, and evaluating interprofessional care models. The studies often involve multidisciplinary collaboration and are published in high-impact journals in psychiatry, sleep research, and transcultural mental health.
