- Affiliation: Department of Psychology, University of Gothenburg
- Academic Rank: Lecturer
- Research Focus: Parental mental health, family dynamics, and developmental psychology
Her research explores how parental mental health conditions (e.g., depression, psychosis) impact parenting practices and child development. She investigates factors like peer relationships, teacher-student dynamics, and medical treatment effects, with a specific focus on families where children have intellectual disabilities. Current projects examine psychological factors in primary care and psychiatric treatment for parents, as well as psychological aspects of surgical interventions in collaboration with Queen Silvia's Children's and Adolescent Hospital and Sahlgrenska University Hospital.
Key methodological contributions include frameworks for teaching qualitative analysis, while recent publications (2023-2019) address topics ranging from "assessing emotional blunting in psychiatric populations" to "family resilience in rare genetic disorders". Her work frequently employs interpretative phenomenological analysis and thematic analysis to understand subjective experiences.
