Our group has conducted research on internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy in the past twelve years. In particular, the protocols for OCD (developed by Erik Andersson) and BDD (developed by Jesper Enander), have shown promising results in both Swedish and international clinical trials.
Since 2018, thanks to a massive effort by Lina Lundström, both treatments are implemented in the regular health care system in Sweden and can reach patients from Ystad to Pajala. This was critical during the COVID-19 pandemic when the health care system had to rearrange itself for remote delivery of care. We are proud that our digital treatments have helped thousands of patients overcome their struggles with OCD and BDD.
