Biography
I have extensive experience in hearing rehabilitation, clinical psychology and behavioral medicine. My research has had a multidisciplinary profile, including collaboration with colleagues in medicine, physiotherapy, psychology, nursing, and dentistry. The research has focused on issues related to adoption, initiation, and maintenance of health-related behaviours. It takes off from a bio-psycho-social framework applying theory and empirical findings from behavioural medicine in rehabilitation, secondary prevention and self-management related to acute and chronic conditions. Another focus is on the implementation of evidence-based behavioural medicine treatment in primary health care and in habilitation services for adults with Retts syndrome.
