Services or Research Projects

At the moment and for the last couples of years I work with couples with various backgrounds and problems. Many of the couples making appointments with me and my colleagues are in conflicts and some of them are domestic violence cases.

I also am very interested in Single Session, inspired by Eastside in Calgary and Bouverie in Melbourne. I and some of my colleagues started 2011 offering Single Session to all our couples, the results are very good and we plan to continue. We do follow ups in all these cases.

I have written five books in swedish on drug abuse, child sexual abuse, family assessment, supervision and one book together with clients.  Several articles in swedish, some in english and a chapter in one of Jahn Hamesl books.
