The latest issue of Medicinsk Vetenskap features an interview with research team leader Christian Rück on the evolution of the research focus over the years.
Rücklab research focus areas
As the research team has grown, the focus areas have become more diverse. From focusing on and showing good results for internet-mediated CBT for OCD, the research has evolved to include several OCD-related conditions such as dysmorphophobia, hoarding disorder, olfactory reference syndrome, trichotillomania and skin-picking disorder.
The group has also expanded to include research on stress and fatigue, novel treatments for PTSD and precision psychiatry, which means finding the right treatment for the right patient.
Finally, a relatively new focus for the group is suicide, a complex area in terms of risk factors and prevention. Click here to read more about the group’s ongoing projects.
