Rücklab – Psychiatry research at Karolinska Institutet
Research on OCD and related disorders, precision psychiatry, psychiatric genetics, suicide prevention, stress and PTSD
Today we would like to congratulate Erik Andersson who has been awarded the Grand Prize for Psychology 2023!
Once upon a time, Erik was Christian Rück’s first PhD student, working with enhancing cognitive-behavior therapy in the treatment of OCD. Since then, he has achieved a lot combining research, teaching and clinical work.
Congratulations Erik!
Dear friends,
2014 has been a good year. We have contributed to 18 publications, presented at several congresses, Evelyn Andersson and Volen Ivanov have had their half-time seminars on their steady way to a PhD and Erik Andersson was the first out of our lab to defend his thesis. We have also staged what may be the Worlds first blind breaking party. On a more serious note, several of our treatment studies have helped people who suffer. We have published the first internetbased CBT study for Body Dysmorhic Disorder with Jesper Enander as first author and stay tuned for more on BDD in 2015. We hope to do even more in 2015. If you wish to donate to our research to make it possible, contact christian.ruck@ki.se .
Vår forskningsgrupp söker i samarbete med Mottagningen för Tvångssyndrom, Psykiatri Sydväst en psykolog för att driva vidare forskningen kring internetbaserad KBT för OCD. Behandlingen har redan testats med god effekt i flera studier men vi vill nu göra en studie där iKBT jämförs med individuell KBT i klinik. Tjänsten är en kombinerad forsknings/kliniktjänst där kliniktjänstgöringen är på Mottagningen för Tvångssyndrom, en mottagning som just nu är inne i en expansiv fas. I forskningsdelen handleds du av Dr. Erik Andersson, Docent Christian Rück och Professor David Mataix-Cols. Detta är, för att uttrycka det ödmjukt, en chans att delta i den absoluta framkanten och om allt går bra så är en doktorandtjänst en senare möjlighet.
